Community structure of macromoths along altitudinal gradients in Korea
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2021 This study was aimed to (1) document the macromoth species richness and diversity along altitudinal gradients, (2) investigate the community structure along altitudinal gradients, and (3) analyze the similarity within each altitude using nonmetric ...

Parallel divergent adaptation along replicated altitudinal gradients in Alpine trout [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background The European trout (Salmo trutta species complex) occurs across a very wide altitudinal range from lowland rivers to alpine streams. Historically, the major European river systems contained different, evolutionarily distinct trout lineages ...

Physiological Variation in Jarillo Peach Across Altitudinal Gradients
AgronomyEnvironmental factors affect plant physiological processes. Understanding these factors can increase productivity, especially in tropical mountain ecosystems, where they vary with altitude. This study aimed to analyze the physiological variations related

Bedrock geology affects foliar nutrient status but has minor influence on leaf carbon isotope discrimination across altitudinal gradients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C) in plant leaves generally decreases with increasing altitude in mountains. Lower foliar Δ13C at high elevation usually is associated with higher leaf mass per area (LMA) in thicker leaves.

From lowlands to highlands: how elevation and habitat complexity drive anuran multidimensional diversity? [PDF]
PeerJBackground Montane environments in Neotropical regions are known for their rich diversity of amphibians, but the ecological drivers behind this diversity along altitudinal gradients remain poorly understood. We investigated the effects of the altitudinal

Explaining global increases in water use efficiency: why have we overestimated responses to rising atmospheric CO(2) in natural forest ecosystems? [PDF]
, 2013 BackgroundThe analysis of tree-ring carbon isotope composition (δ(13)C) has been widely used to estimate spatio-temporal variations in intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) of tree species.

Epiphytic Orchid Diversity along an Altitudinal Gradient in Central Nepal [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Epiphytic orchids are common in subtropical forests, but little is known about the factors that determine their diversity. We surveyed two sites (north-facing Phulchowki and south-facing Shivapuri hills), in the sub-tropical forest in the Kathmandu valley, central Nepal. Along five transects per site, spanning an altitudinal gradient of 1525–2606 m a.s.

Altitudinal gradients, plant hybrid zones and evolutionary novelty [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 Altitudinal gradients are characterized by steep changes of the physical and biotic environment that present challenges to plant adaptation throughout large parts of the world. Hybrid zones may form where related species inhabit different neighbouring altitudes and can facilitate interspecific gene flow and potentially the breakdown of ...
