...Long-term projections of climate change impacts (Thomas et al. 2004, Jetz et al. 2007) suggest that richness should decrease along elevational gradients, although an extinction debt may lead to temporary increases in richness when the pace of colonizations exceeds extinctions (Walther et al. 2002,…...
