Do Shapes of Altitudinal Species Richness Gradients Depend on the Vertical Range Studied? The Case of the Himalayas

Diversity
We analyzed elevational species richness gradients (“decline”, “increase”, “unimodal”, or “bimodal”) in the Himalayan range using data from 157 publications covering both plants and animals.

Hierarchical Flexible Ceramic Nanofiber Membrane for Simultaneous Membrane Distillation and Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchical flexible ceramic nanofiber membrane integrates a La‐stabilized ZrO2 scaffold with superhydrophobic UiO‐66‐NH2/CdS heterojunctions. The gas–liquid–solid interfacial architecture sustains vapor‐selective desalination, visible‐light charge separation, and rapid H2 extraction, enabling simultaneous freshwater production and photocatalytic ...

Predator and parasitoid insects along elevational gradients. Role of temperature and habitat diversity

, 2018
Elevational gradients are characterized by strong abiotic variation within small geographical distances and provide a powerful tool to evaluate community response to variation in climatic and other environmental factors.

Classification of Small-Mammal Metacommunity Structures Along Elevational Gradients with Connections to Metacommunity Networks [PDF]

, 2018
Small-mammals respond quickly to habitat changes and serve an important role in ecosystem function as prey and sources of seed dispersal. To assess the interaction structure, or metacommunity structure, of small-mammal assemblages, I collected presence ...

Photothermal Heat Spreading for Uniform Pixel Activation in NIR Laser‐Driven Thermochromic Liquid Crystal Displays

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A pixelated full‐color display is driven by a 1064 nm near‐infrared laser without electrical wiring. A graphite photothermal layer converts light into heat, while an aluminum heat‐spreading layer redistributes it for uniform color within each pixel. Optimizing pixel size and spacing suppresses thermal crosstalk, enabling non‐contact reproduction of ...

Diversity patterns of ferns along elevational gradients in Andean tropical forests

, 2015
Background: Biodiversity is perceived to decline from lowlands towards mountain peaks and away from the Equator towards the Poles, but supporting data for most groups of organisms are lacking, especially at the local scale.

Response to Comments on "Disentangling the Drivers of β Diversity Along Latitudinal and Elevational Gradients"

, 2012
Qian et al. and Tuomisto and Ruokolainen critique our analyses of elevational and latitudinal variation in tree diversity. We address their points by reanalyzing different subsets of our data and by clarifying certain misconceptions, and reiterate that ...
