We present a new, online, open access portal to the geometrid moths of the world
(Lepidoptera: Geometridae). The portal provides access to the global database including …

Most multicellular species alive are tropical arthropods associated with plants. Hence, the
host‐specificity of these species, and their diversity at different scales, are keys to …

The study of elevational diversity gradients dates back to the foundation of biogeography.
Although elevational patterns of plant and animal diversity have been studied for centuries …

Aim The biodiversity of geometrid moths (Lepidoptera) along a complete tropical elevational
gradient was studied for the first time. The patterns are described, and the role of geometric …

Summary 1 Understanding how species in a diverse regional pool are spatially distributed
with respect to habitat types is a longstanding problem in ecology. Tropical species are …

A tropical mountain ecosystem in one of the" hottest" biodiversity hotspots worldwide was
investigated by some 30 research teams of numerous disciplines in the natural and social …

Aim We describe the changes in species richness, rarity and composition with altitude, and
explore whether the differences in Scarabaeinae dung beetle composition along five …

In Brazil, cacao is mostly planted beneath shade trees. The diversity of shade trees varies
from monospecific to highly diverse canopies, characteristic of pristine Atlantic Forest. This …

Habitat loss is silently leading numerous insects to extinction. Conservation efforts, however,
have not been designed specifically to protect these organisms, despite their ecological and …

Alpha‐diversity of geometrid moths was investigated along an elevational gradient in a
tropical montane rainforest in southern Ecuador. Diversity was measured using 1) species …
