The literature on the response of insect species to the changing environments experienced
along altitudinal gradients is diverse and widely dispersed. There is a growing awareness …

Climate conditions tend to differ along an altitudinal gradient, resulting in some species
groups' patterns of lower species richness with increasing altitude. While this pattern is well …

Studies on the communities of galling insects and their host plants were performed in three"
cerrado" physiognomies that occur in Minas Gerais:" campo sujo"," cerrado" sensu strictu …

Abstract Background and Aims Flower–visitor interactions comprise a continuum of
behaviours, from mutualistic partners to antagonistic visitors. Despite being relatively …

We studied the distribution of birds along an altitudinal gradient ranging from 800 m to 1,400
m on two slopes of the Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. Ornithological …

Insect–plant interactions occur in several ways and have considerable environmental and
ecological importance. Many feeding strategies have evolved among herbivorous insects …

Background and Aims Differences in the chemical and physical traits of plants caused by
both genetic and habitat characteristics may influence attack by herbivores. Leaves of …

Most studies evaluating insect communities along climatic gradients in mountain regions
have overlooked the relevance of the contrasting effects of xeric and mesic habitats on …

Abstract In 2019, B. Jarvis paraphrased E. Wilson in that “insects are a case study in terms of
the invisible importance of the common”. However, threats to insect diversity are rapidly …

We compiled 109 species richness–altitude (SRA) relationships in arthropods to test the
hypothesis that identification of shape and robustness of pattern are contingent on the …
