TL;DR: Indicator values, computed for each taxon, showed that a number of arthropod taxa may have potential as bio-indicators of habitat change, however the use of many of these, especially many ant species found in this study, may be unreliable because even after extensive numbers of sites were sampled, most species showed patchy distributions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how the quantitative structure of a herbivore-parasitoid food web changes with elevation in an Australian subtropical rain forest, and found strong evidence that the environmental change that occurs with increasing elevation affects food web structure.

TL;DR: The study indicates that flutter-detecting bats could have imposed selective pressures on moths during the evolution of moth hearing, and supports the allotonic frequency hypothesis.

TL;DR: Results for the first comparison of quantitative food webs in forest understorey and canopy along an elevational gradient contribute further evidence to studies revealing changes in food web structure along natural environmental gradients and provide information that can potentially be used for predicting how communities may respond to climate change.

TL;DR: This study compared the effectiveness of a traditional avian biodiversity assessment technique with a relatively new method along an elevational gradient in rainforest in central Queensland, Australia, and recommended the use of both techniques in tandem for future biodiversity assessments, as their respective strengths and weaknesses are complementary.
