Diversity patterns of vascular epiphytes along an elevational gradient in the Andes (2005, background): “As previously suggested by Gentry & Dodson (1987); Kessler (2001a,b; Bhattarai et al. (2004), and Kreft et al. (2004), among others, it is likely that low temperatures, in particular the regular occurrence of frost, are limiting to epiphyte diversity in the highlands.”
Orchid species richness along Himalayan elevational gradients (2011, methodology): “A species is defined as being present in each 100-m elevational interval between its upper and lower elevational limits by interpolation, as in Vetaas & Grytnes (2002) and Bhattarai et al. (2004).”
Distribution pattern of trees along an elevation gradient of Eastern Himalaya, India (2011, unknown): “Climatically active watereenergy variables predicted tree species richness (Carpenter, 2005) and MI influenced flowering plants and ferns (Bhattarai and Vetaas, 2003; Bhattarai et al., 2004) in the Central Himalayan elevation gradient.”
Elevational species richness patterns for vascular plants on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo (2006, background): “Other studies of ferns similarly find a humped pattern, and when other plant groups are included it is generally the case that the peak in fern species richness is at a higher elevation than that in the other groups (Kessler, 2001; Bhattarai & Vetaas, 2003; Bhattarai et al., 2004; Watkins et al., 20”
Can Rapoport's rule explain tree species richness along the Himalayan elevation gradient, Nepal? (2006, background): “Above 1300 m a.s.l. frost occurs in winter and available energy will gradually be reduced at higher elevations (Bhattarai et al ., 2004).”
The effect of area on local and regional elevational patterns of species richness (2011, background): “…2007), flowering plants (Hemp, 2001; Moser et al., 2005; Oommen & Shanker, 2005), vascular epiphytes (Küper et al., 2004; Krömer et al., 2005; Cardelús et al., 2006; Hemp, 2011), ferns (Hemp, 2001; Bhattarai et al., 2004; Carpenter, 2005; Kluge et al., 2006) and bryophytes (Grau et al., 2007).”
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.”
The elevation gradient of lichen species richness in Nepal (2009, background): “For example, Himalayan vascular plants showed their highest total richness at altitudes between 1500 to 2500m and their highest endemic richness at 4000m (Grytnes & Vetaas 2002; Vetaas & Grytnes 2002), while fern richness peaked at 2000m (Bhattarai et al. 2004).”
A comparison of altitudinal species richness patterns of bryophytes with other plant groups in Nepal, Central Himalaya (2007, methodology): “Data for fern and vascular plant species richness were obtained from Bhattarai et al. (2004) and Vetaas & Grytnes (2002), respectively.”
The BIOKLIM Project: Biodiversity Research between Climate Change and Wilding in a temperate montane forest - The conceptual framework (2009, background): “Such studies have been presented for vascular plants (gryTnes 2003), bryophytes and lichens (gryTnes et al. 2006) and ferns (BHaTTarai et al. 2004).”
Could temperature and water availability drive elevational species richness patterns? A global case study for bats (2006, background): “…regimes are essential to the physiology of plants and directly influence distribution and species richness (O’Brien, 1993; Hawkins et al., 2003; Bhattarai et al., 2004; Krömer et al., 2005); but for animal richness patterns, the question of interest becomes the relative importance of direct…”
Species distribution models and ecological theory: A critical assessment and some possible new approaches (2007, background): “Three papers used cubic polynomials (Thuiller, 2003; Bustamante and Seoane, 2004; Bhattarai et al., 2004).”
Global analysis of bird elevational diversity (2009, background): “Additionally, water and energy/temperature are correlated with elevational species richness of epiphytes (Krömer et al., 2005) and ferns (Bhattarai et al., 2004; Kluge et al., 2006).”
Effects of incorporating spatial autocorrelation into the analysis of species distribution data (2007, background): “Finally, several studies have analysed species distributions in a standard, non-spatial way, and found no evidence for spatial autocorrelation in model residuals (e.g. Higgins et al ., 1999; Hawkins & Porter, 2003; Bhattarai et al ., 2004; Flinn et al ., 2005; Warren et al ., 2005).”
