Large‐scale atmospheric variability entails differential modes of seasonal tree growth in the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2652-2667, September 2025.
This work demonstrates the control of teleconnections on seasonal tree growth through local climate across the Mediterranean basin. Despite the constant link between the East Atlantic Pattern and temperature, synergies among teleconnections point to an east–west dipole in tree seasonal growth, driven by precipitation variability.

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 ...

Fish distribution across altitudinal gradients in the Upper Paraguay River Basin: Implications for conservation in the Pantanal region

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
This paper approaches the patterns in fish distribution across the altitudinal gradient in the Upper Paraguay River basin, from uplands to the floodplain. We compiled more than 75,000 available fish records and registered 342 fish species and your distribution along altitudinal gradient. Floodplain portion have higher species diversity than headwaters,

Mammal diversity in the middle basin of the river Tambopata, Puno, Peru

Revista Peruana de Biología, 2011
This study documents the mammalian diversity in the Tambopata River middle basin, one of the most important information gaps in Peru. Five sites were evaluated in Puno (San Fermín 850 m, Curva Alegre 950 m, Challohuma 1200 m, Yanahuaya 1600 m, and ...

Climatic and Edaphic Drivers of Soil Organic Carbon and Pyrogenic Carbon Stocks Across Elevation and Disturbance Gradients in Colombian Andean Forests

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study examined soil organic carbon (SOC) and pyrogenic carbon (PyC) stocks in tropical Andean soils across elevation and disturbance gradients in Colombia. SOC stocks to 100 cm depth averaged 433.10 Mg C ha−1 while PyC was 34.13 Mg C ha−1. Key drivers of PyC stocks include soil clay (%), mean annual precipitation (PA), pH, Ca, and NDVI, which ...

Grassland biomass dynamics along an altitudinal gradient in the Pampa [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2000
Above and below-ground biomass and necromass dynamics were assessed for 3 grassland sites located at 550, 850, and 1,025 m elevation in Sierra de la Ventana range (38 degrees 1'S 62 degrees 2'W) in Argentina. The objective was to determine if differences existed in dry matter structure, mycorrhizae infection, net primary productivity (NPP) partitioning

Pyraloid Moth Assemblages Exhibit Complex Morphological Patterns Across an Ecuadorian Mountainous Forest

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.
In this study, we examined how morphological traits and species diversity of Pyraloidea moths vary with temperature and vegetation cover along an Andean rainforest gradient in Ecuador. Using 4161 individuals (212 species) and cross‐validating with a larger dataset of 10,337 individuals (749 morpho‐species), we found a near‐linear decrease in diversity ...
