Host identity, more than elevation, shapes bee microbiomes along a tropical elevation gradient [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyUnderstanding how host-microbiome interactions respond to abiotic and biotic factors is key to elucidating the mechanisms influencing ecological communities under current climate change scenarios.

Distribution and morphological variation of tree ferns (Cyatheaceae) along an elevation gradient. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Knowing how species and communities respond to environmental change is fundamental in the context of climate change. The search for patterns of abundance and phenotypic variation along altitudinal gradients can provide evidence on adaptive limits.

SGH: stress or strain gradient hypothesis? Insights from an elevation gradient on the roof of the world [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2017 The stress gradient hypothesis (SGH), the view that competition prevails in undisturbed and productive environments, and shifts to facilitation in disturbed or stressful environments, has become a central paradigm in ecology. However, an alternative view proposes that the relationship between biotic interactions and environmental severity should be ...

Intraspecific morphological variation of Bellidiastrum michelii (Asteraceae) along a 1,155 m elevation gradient in the Tatra Mountains [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Plant species that inhabit large elevation gradients in mountain regions are exposed to different environmental conditions. These different conditions may influence plant morphology via plastic responses and/or via genetic adaptation to the local ...

Abundance of Montane Salamanders Over an Elevational Gradient [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Climate change is expected to systematically alter the distribution and poEurycea pulation dynamics of species around the world. The effects are expected to be particularly strong at high latitudes and elevations, and for ectothermic species with small ranges and limited movement potential, such as salamanders in the southern ...

Diversity of lithophytic moss species in karst regions in response to elevation gradients.
PLoS ONE, 2023 The distribution pattern of species diversity along various elevation gradients reflects the biological and ecological characteristics of species, distribution status and adaptability to the environment.

Mountain biodiversity and elevational gradients [PDF]
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2021 Mountains are excellent systems for studying species responses to changing conditions because climatic conditions and related productivity measures change rapidly over short distances (Korner 2007). Mountains also often have high biodiversity and high levels of endemism (Hoorn et al. 2018, Rahbek et al.

International Journal of Forestry Research, 2022 There is a limited effort in Ethiopia to study scientifically the ecological features of traditional coffee-based agroforestry systems. This study was initiated to determine the structure, composition, and carbon stock of woody species along an elevation

Elevational Gradients Impose Dispersal Limitation on Streptomyces
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Dispersal governs microbial biogeography, but the rates and mechanisms of dispersal remain poorly characterized for most microbial taxa. Dispersal limitation is driven by limits on dissemination and establishment, respectively. Elevation gradients create striking patterns of biogeography because they produce steep environmental gradients at small ...

Evolutionary Diversity Peaks at Mid-Elevations Along an Amazon-to-Andes Elevation Gradient [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Elevation gradients present enigmatic diversity patterns, with trends often dependent on the dimension of diversity considered. However, focus is often on patterns of taxonomic diversity and interactions between diversity gradients and evolutionary factors, such as lineage age, are poorly understood.
