The origin and maintenance of montane diversity: integrating evolutionary and ecological processes (2014, background): “A variety of richness patterns occur on mountains: the most prevalent are low- and mid-elevation peaks in richness (Rahbek 1995, 2005, McCain and Grytnes 2010, Werenkraut and Ruggiero 2011), although some instances of increasing richness at high elevations (Sanders et al. 2003) or no change in…”
