Widespread phenotypic and genetic divergence along altitudinal gradients in animals [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2013 AbstractAltitudinal gradients offer valuable study systems to investigate how adaptive genetic diversity is distributed within and between natural populations and which factors promote or prevent adaptive differentiation. The environmental clines along altitudinal gradients tend to be steep relative to the dispersal distance of many organisms ...

Properties of thick discs formed in clumpy galaxies [PDF]
, 2014 We examine a possible formation scenario of galactic thick discs with numerical simulations. Thick discs have previously been argued to form in clumpy disc phase in the high-redshift Universe, which host giant clumps ...

Orchid diversity along an altitudinal gradient in the central Balkans
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Understanding patterns of species diversity along an altitudinal gradient is the major topic of much biogeographical and ecological research. The aim of this study was to explore how richness and density of orchid species and subspecies in terms of different categories of underground organ systems and pollination systems vary along an altitudinal ...

The physiology and biomechanics of avian flight at high altitude [PDF]
, 2006 Many birds fly at high altitude, either during long-distance flights or by virtue of residence in high-elevation habitats. Among the many environmental features that vary systematically with altitude, five have significant consequences for avian flight ...
