A well-defined macroecological pattern is the decline in biodiversity with altitude. However,
this decline is taxa-specific. For example, amphibians are more diverse than squamates at …

Measuring and Monitoring Biological Diversity is the first book to provide comprehensive
coverage of standard methods for biodiversity sampling of amphibians, with information on …

The study of altitudinal gradients has made enduring contributions to the theoretical and
empirical bases of modern biology. Unfortunately, the persistence of these systems and the …

Aim Elevational gradients distributed across the globe are a powerful test system for
understanding biodiversity. Here I use a comprehensive set of bird elevational gradients to …

Aim A global meta‐analysis was used to elucidate a mechanistic understanding of
elevational species richness patterns of bats by examining both regional and local climatic …

The difficult accessibility of the canopy of tropical rainforests is probably one of the main
reasons why information about the nonvascular tree crown flora is scarce. In this paper full …

Amphibians stand at the forefront of a global biodiversity crisis. More than one-third of
amphibian species are globally threatened, and over 120 species have likely suffered global …

More than two million species have been described so far, but our knowledge on most taxa
remains scarce or inexistent, and the available biodiversity data is often taxonomically …

Existe desacuerdo sobre la forma en que son afectados los anfibios por la tala de bosques y
la alteración del hábitat y pocos son los estudios que han tratado este asunto en los …

In this paper I examine occurrence patterns and habitats use of a New World tropical tadpole
species assemblage from primary tropical terra firme forest. First, I describe phenology of …
