Understanding elevation variation in biodiversity is a classic question in ecology and has
implications for understanding climate change impacts on mountain ecosystems. While …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can benefit plants under environmental stress, and
influence plant adaptation to warmer climates. However, very little is known about the …

Plant lifespan has important evolutionary, physiological, and ecological implications related
to population persistence, community stability, and resilience to ongoing environmental …

Elevational range size patterns reflect ecological and evolutionary processes, but they are
also affected by geometric constraints. The confounding effect of these constraints led to an …

This chapter reviews the conceptual and methodological issues related to latitudinal and
elevational gradients of species richness at distinct scales. We start with the debates about …

Macroecology is now a successful approach to investigate ecological patterns, providing a
way to look at the natural systems “from a distance.” This scientific perspective focuses on …
