• Fern species richness along a central Himalayan elevational gradient, Nepal (2004, background): “…groups of organisms have identified pronounced variations in species richness along elevational gradients (Yoda, 1967; Terborgh, 1971, 1977; Hamilton, 1975; Wolda, 1987; Hawkins, 1999; Kessler, 2000, 2002; Ohlemüller & Wilson, 2000; Sánchez-Cordero, 2001; Hemp, 2002; Vetaas & Grytnes, 2002).”
• The effect of area on local and regional elevational patterns of species richness (2011, background): “Moreover, unusual distribution patterns (e.g. bimodal) may be masked (Hemp, 2002).”
• Phylogenetic diversity, trait diversity and niches: species assembly of ferns along a tropical elevational gradient (2011, background): “As proposed by Kessler (2001), Hemp (2002), Bhattarai et al. (2004), Kluge et al. (2006) and others, the very humid conditions at midelevations in tropical mountains represent optimal growing conditions for ferns, so climate is unlikely to act as a filter excluding ill-adapted taxa.”
