Turnover-Dominated β-Diversity and Its Temperature and Trophic Drivers of Scarabaeoidea Assemblages Along an Elevational Gradient in a Tropical Island Rainforest in China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
An important issue with diversity patterns along elevational gradients in mountain ecosystems is that far few studies have incorporated abundance and top‐down effects‐which may covary with environmental gradients‐when inferring the mechanisms structuring insect communities. Here, we tested the effects of potential drivers (temperature, humidity, litter
