Tropical Land-Use Change Disrupts Zeta-Diversity Across Taxa. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We studied birds, dung beetles, and orchids across natural and human‐transformed habitats in the Colombian Andes to understand how land‐use change affects biodiversity. We found that deforestation simplifies ecological communities and reduces both rare and widespread species, especially orchids.

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.

Microbial carbon use efficiency along an altitudinal gradient [PDF]

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2022
Soil microbial carbon-use efficiency (CUE), described as the ratio of growth over total carbon (C) uptake, i.e. the sum of growth and respiration, is a key variable in all soil organic matter (SOM) models and critical to ecosystem C cycling. However, there is still a lack of consensus on microbial CUE when estimated using different methods. Furthermore,

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 ...

A theoretical framework for upscaling species distribution models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, Page 2888-2899, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Species distribution models (SDM) have become one of the most popular predictive tools in ecology. With the advent of new computation and remote sensing technology, high‐resolution environmental data sets are becoming more and more common predictors in these modelling efforts.

Lauraceae Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Southern Brazil [PDF]

Floresta e Ambiente, 2019
ABSTRACT We performed a phytosociological study on an altitudinal gradient in Lauráceas State Park (Parque Estadual das Lauráceas/PR), aiming to describe the Montane Atlantic Rain Forest, to verify the importance of Lauraceae, and to evaluate the communities’ successional stage.
