Global warming, elevational ranges and the vulnerability of tropical biota

William F. Laurance, +53 more
TL;DR: This paper found that species classified as elevational specialists (upper or lower-zone specialists) are relatively more frequent in the American than Asia-Pacific tropics, with African tropics being intermediate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project

Lawrence N. Hudson, +573 more
TL;DR: The PREDICTS project as discussed by the authors provides a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants of diversity in afrotropical herbivorous insects (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) : plant diversity, vegetation structure or abiotic factors?

TL;DR: Investigating the potential of predicting alpha diversity and turnover rates of a highly diverse herbivorous insect family based on vascular plant species richness and vegetation structure found that tropical geometrid moths may not be very selective in their food plant choice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity of geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) along an Afrotropical elevational rainforest transect

TL;DR: Geometrid moths were investigated at 26 sites on 9 elevational levels along an elevational transect at Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), stretching from the fine-grained mosaic of small agroforest plots with combined cultivation of trees, shrubs and crops at 1650 m through mountain rainforest to heathland at 3300 m as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of pond management for biodiversity conservation in an agricultural landscape

TL;DR: By arresting succession and restoring macrophyte-dominated early- and mid-successional ponds, management may have an essential role in biodiversity conservation in pond-rich landscapes.
