Applying climatically associated species pools to the modelling of compositional change in tropical montane forests
Duncan Golicher,Luis Cayuela,J. Rob M. Alkemade,Mario González-Espinosa,Neptalí Ramírez-Marcial +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a methodology for defining and mapping species pools associated with climatic variables in order to investigate potential species turnover and regional species loss under climate change scenarios combined with anthropogenic disturbance.

Patterns in species richness and distribution of vascular epiphytes in Chiapas, Mexico
TL;DR: Assessment of regional patterns in the distribution and species richness of vascular epiphytes with an emphasis on forests that differ in altitude and the amount of rainfall in Chiapas confirmed the presumed presence of a belt of high diversity at mid-elevations in neotropical mountains.
