The literature on the response of insect species to the changing environments experienced
along altitudinal gradients is diverse and widely dispersed. There is a growing awareness …

Aim To explore species richness patterns in liverworts and mosses along a central
Himalayan altitudinal gradient in Nepal (100–5500 m asl) and to compare these patterns …

This review discusses the connection between quantitative changes of environmental
factors and oribatid communities. With the overview of available studies, it can be clearly …

An investigation of terrestrial bryophyte species diversity and community structure along an
altitudinal gradient from 2,001 to 4,221 m asl in Gongga Mountain in Sichuan, China was …

Sexual reproduction in non-vascular plants requires unicellular free-motile sperm to travel
from male to female reproductive structures across the terrestrial landscape. Recent data …

Non‐vascular plant distribution patterns were examined in three microhabitats along an
altitudinal gradient on a recent lava flow of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano (La Réunion …

Mt Etna in Sicily hosts a bryophyte floristic richness of 306 taxa, corresponding to 259
mosses, 43 liverworts, and 4 hornworts. Species richness shows a hump-shaped …

The study of elevational patterns is a valuable method for inferring the influence of the
climate and other variables in the regional distributions of species. Bryophytes are ideal for …

The main terrestrial ecosystems dominated by lichens and mosses, which represent
important ecological indicators of climatic changes in high polar latitudes, are found in the …

Patterns and functioning of communities, which are determined by a set of processes
operating at a large variety of spatial and temporal scales, exhibit quite high context …
