Aims We aim to document elevational richness patterns of geometrid moths in a globally
replicated, multi‐gradient setting, and to test general hypotheses on environmental and …

False codling moth (FCM), Thaumatotibia leucotreta is a key pest of citrus orange and other
plants causing fruit loss through larval feeding. Although this pest is native to sub-Saharan …

The tropical and subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia are a major component of the
Forests of East Australia global hotspot. Australian rainforests are maintained orographically …

Collembola are among the most abundant and diverse soil animals contributing significantly
to major ecosystem processes. Global climate changes in temperature and precipitation are …

Little is known about the diversity and distribution patterns of moths along latitudinal
gradients. We studied macro-moths in Mongolia along an 860 km latitudinal climatic …

Intensive land use, eg pastoralism, decreases biodiversity and leads to homogenization of
habitats. However, the effect of land-use changes differs under varying climatic conditions …

In many tropical lowland rain forests, topographic variation increases environmental
heterogeneity, thus contributing to the extraordinary biodiversity of tropical lowland forests …

The study of diversity gradients is a frequent approach to understand evolutionary processes
that structure communities. Altitudinal gradients allow the analysis of community spatial …

Although Mexico includes a large proportion of the biodiversity of the Mesoamerican
hotspot, well-documented examples of moth diversity and distributions remain limited. This …

Microclimate, such as soil and surface air temperatures, and edaphic factors, such as soil
organic matter content and nutrient availability, are important parameters of the below …
