Ant diversity shows a variety of patterns across elevational gradients, though the patterns
and drivers have not been evaluated comprehensively. In this systematic review and …

Macroecology and biogeography are concerned with understanding biodiversity patterns
across space and time. In the past, the two disciplines have addressed this question mainly …

Aim This study explores the relationship between orchid species richness along elevational
gradients in the central and eastern Himalaya. Specifically, we aimed to test predictions of …

Evolutionary processes such as adaptation, ecological filtering, and niche conservatism
involve the interaction of organisms with their environment and are thus commonly studied …

Altitudinal changes of composition and richness of montane plant assemblages are
complex, depending on the taxonomic group and gradient conditions, with different factors …

Aim To disentangle the influence of environmental factors at different spatial grains (regional
and local) on fern and lycophyte species richness and to ask how regional and plot‐level …

The Himalaya, the world's largest mountain chain, spans a wide variety of climates. Further,
different locations have historically experienced climatic perturbations to different degrees …

Forest management has been widely used to maintain and improve multiple ecosystem
services. However, large‐scale synthesis of the effects of forest management on understory …

Aim In order to investigate the relative importance of ecological (habitat specialization) and
biogeographical (speciation, geographical dispersal limitation) processes as causes of non …

Biological diversity can be defined as variability among living organisms from all sources,
including terrestrial organisms, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological …
