No effect of elevation and fragmentation on genetic diversity and structure in Polylepis australis trees from central Argentina.
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05-06)
Phenological differences in flowering arising along elevational gradients may be caused by either local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity. Local adaptation can lead to reproductive isolation of populations at different ...
Elevational differentiation in metabolic cold stress responses of an endemic mountain tree
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
The decline of mountain forests under global change is alarming and conservation is challenged by the need to assemble populations able to deal with the predicted environmental shifts. Assessing intraspecific differentiation ...
Environmental and genetic control of insect abundance and herbivory along a forest elevational gradient
(Springer, 2011-04)
Environmental conditions and plant genotype may influence insect herbivory along elevational gradients. Plant damage would decrease with elevation as temperature declines to suboptimal levels for insects. However, host ...
Turnover, richness difference and nestedness of rodent assemblages along the southern Andes elevation gradient
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-04)
Beta diversity in ecological communities can reflect adaptations of species to differences in climate, environmental characteristics and site history, as well as local ecological dynamics. These dissimilarities among ...
Richness, species composition and functional groups in Agaricomycetes communities along a vegetation and elevational gradient in the Andean Yungas of Argentina
(Springer, 2018-07)
The Neotropics are among the least explored regions from a mycological perspective. A few recent molecular studies in South America have shown high fungal diversity as well as numerous groups of mostly undescribed taxa. ...
The effect of anthropic pressures and elevation on the large and medium-sized terrestrial mammals of the subtropical mountain forests (Yungas) of NW Argentina
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2013-01)
We conducted a 55-day long camera-trap survey in the Yungas subtropical forest in NW Argentina, to assess the effect of human accessibility, conservation status of the area, domestic animals and elevation on the diversity ...
Impact of climate change on the Andean distribution of Poa scaberula (Poaceae)
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-05)
Grasslands play an important ecological role and are the dominant landscape in the whole extent of the Andes and high elevation regions of South America. Climate change models indicate a strong impact on mountain systems. ...
The species richness-elevation relationship: global patterns of variation in chironomid richness in mountain lakes
(Veterinary and Human Toxicology, 2019-01-28)
Abstract. 1. The species richness-elevation relationship (SRE) is predominantly hump-shaped along terrestrial gradients, but has been less explored in aquatic environments. Chironomids were used to evaluate the generality ...
