The effect of elevation on species richness in tropical forests depends on the considered lifeform: results from an East African mountain forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Elevation gradients in tropical forests have been studied but the analysis of patterns displayed by species richness and elevation have received little attention.

A preliminary assessment of chelonian diversity in the montane forests of two areas in northern Vietnam

open access: yesThe herpetological bulletin, 2023
Very little is known of the ecology and distribution of Vietnamese tortoises and freshwater turtles, even though Vietnam is one of the world’s hotspots of chelonian diversity and, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN),

Abiotic and Biotic Influences on the Movement of Reintroduced Chinese Giant Salamanders (Andrias davidianus) in Two Montane Rivers

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Understanding animal movement is a key question in ecology and biodiversity conservation, which is particularly important for the success of reintroduction projects.

Endemism and diversity in European montane mammals: macro-ecological patterns

open access: yesBiological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019
AbstractMountains are important landforms with regard to both biodiversity and evolution of endemism. We analysed macro-ecological patterns of distribution and endemism of European montane (i.e. with at least 70% of their range inside mountain areas) mammals. The landscape of the study area was characterized by three environmental variables: land cover,

Jumping between narrow banks: social spacing of the stream-dwelling montane frog, Crossodactylus trachystomus (Hylodidae)

open access: yesEcosistemas, 2023
Spacing patterns among individuals can reveal many ecological and behavioral features, such as responses to resource availability and social organization. The study of the amphibian movements still constitutes a gap in the knowledge of the animal ecology,

Soil macrofauna in areas with different ages after Pinus patula clearcutting

open access: yesUniversitas Scientiarum, 2018
In Andean high montane areas, the establishment of exotic tree forests changes the soil dynamics and its biodiversity. Soil macrofauna act as indicators of ecosystem successional processes, and may have an important role in ecological restoration ...

Drivers of functional and phylogenetic structures of mountain bird assemblages along an altitudinal gradient from the montane to alpine zones

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Understanding the process underlying the spatial gradients in biodiversity is a fundamental issue in ecology. Altitudinal gradients are ideal systems for examining the community assembly process because they represent rapid changes in environmental ...

Shifts in leaf litter breakdown along a forest–pasture–urban gradient in Andean streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Tropical montane ecosystems of the Andes are critically threatened by a rapid land-use change which can potentially affect stream variables, aquatic communities, and ecosystem processes such as leaf litter breakdown.
