Elevation, aspect, and habitat heterogeneity determine plant diversity and compositional patterns in the Kashmir Himalaya
Elevational gradient, slope, and aspect offer a unique opportunity to explore the response of
plant species under changing environmental conditions. The present study aimed to analyze …

Neutral‐based processes overrule niche‐based processes in sha** tropical montane orchid communities across spatial scales
E Parra‐Sanchez, OA Pérez‐Escobar… - Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Tropical montane forests (TMF) are characterised by high endemism, species richness and
turnover across elevations. A key question is how niche‐based processes, via adaptation of …

Alpine butterflies want to fly high: Species and communities shift upwards faster than their host plants
Despite sometimes strong codependencies of insect herbivores and plants, the responses of
individual taxa to accelerating climate change are typically studied in isolation. For this …
