Altitudinal Gradient May Shadow the Effects of Altitudinal Range on Species Diversity

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Altitudinal range is widely used as a proxy of habitat heterogeneity to explain broad-scale geographical patterns of species diversity. Though altitudinal range is a factors derived from altitudinal gradient, altitudinal range’s effects on species diversity on altitudinal gradient remain little known.

The distribution of ground spiders (Araneae, Gnaphosidae) along the altitudinal gradient of Crete, Greece: species richness, activity and altitudinal range

Journal of Biogeography, 2005
AbstractAim  To study the altitudinal variation of ground spiders (Araneae, Gnaphosidae) of Crete, Greece, as far as species composition, species richness, activity and range of distribution are concerned.Location  Altitudinal zones (0–2400 m) along the three main mountain massifs of the island of Crete.Methods  Thirty‐three sampling sites were located

EXPANSION VS. COMPRESSION OF BIRD ALTITUDINAL RANGES ON A MEDITERRANEAN ISLAND

Ecology, 2002
Habitat expansion is a commonly recognized feature of the insular syndrome. It has been explained either by restricted dispersal, intraspecific spillover resulting from density inflation, benign and predictable climate, or by the ecological release that results from species impoverishment.
