Diversity patterns of vascular epiphytes along an elevational gradient in the Andes (2005, methodology): “As a proxy for area we measured the horizontal width of 250-m belts (250–500, 500–750 m, etc.) in central Bolivia on topographic maps (scale 1 : 50,000) issued by the Instituto Geográfico Militar, La Paz, Bolivia (for details see Herzog et al., 2005).”
Are mountain passes higher in the tropics? Janzen's hypothesis revisited. (2006, background): “…this pattern seems general and is documented in comparisons of herpetofaunas ( e.g ., Heyer, 1967; Wake and Lynch, 1976; Huey, 1978; Navas, 2002), birds ( e.g ., Terborgh, 1977; Rahbek, 1997; Rahbek and Graves, 2001; Herzog et al ., 2005), and plants ( e.g ., Smith, 1988; Lieberman et al ., 1996).”
Reasons for an outstanding plant diversity in the tropical Andes of southern Ecuador. (2009, background): “Instead, Huston (1994) developed the Dynamic Equilibrium Model for tropical ecosystems, which assumes a dynamic equilibrium achieved by the varying growth rates of individual species, intensity of interspecific competition, and frequency and intensity of disturbance.”
Density compensation, species composition, and richness of ants on a neotropical elevational gradient (2011, background): “…statistically (McCoy 1990, Samson et al. 1997, Pyrcz and Wojtusiak 2002, Sanders 2002, Sanders et al. 2003, 2007, McCain 2005, 2007a, 2007b, Herzog et al. 2005, Oommen and Shanker 2005, Cardelús et al. 2006, Grytnes and Beaman 2006, Kluge et al. 2006, Watkins et al. 2006, Brehm et al.…”
The effect of area on local and regional elevational patterns of species richness (2011, background): “Such patterns have been documented for mammals (McCain, 2005, 2007), birds (Herzog et al., 2005; McCain, 2009), reptiles (Fu et al., 2006), moths (Brehm et al., 2007), flowering plants (Hemp, 2001; Moser et al., 2005; Oommen & Shanker, 2005), vascular epiphytes (Küper et al., 2004; Krömer et al.,…”
Elevational Gradients in Species Richness (2010, background): “Recently, there has been a concerted effort to systematically document species richness along elevational gradients around the world for many groups of plants and animals (Heaney, 2001; Kessler et al., 2001; Sanders, 2002; Brehm et al., 2003; Grytnes, 2003; Herzog et al., 2005).”
Soil pH drives the spatial distribution of bacterial communities along elevation on Changbai Mountain (2013, background): “Intensive and extensive studies have showed that taxa of macroorganisms, such as trees, mammals, birds, insects, generally exhibit either monotonically decreasing or hump-shaped richness patterns with elevation driven by potential forces, including climatic, spatial, historical and biotic (Herzog et”
