Special conservation efforts should be made for relict species, as they usually have small
population sizes and restricted distributions, placing them in critical extinction risk. To …

Abstract Cosmosoma maishei (Laguerre, Antenor 1: 153–172, 2014) is an Arctiini moth
restricted to high elevations in the mountain Mesoamerican biodiversity hotspots. A narrow …

Abstract Changes in climate and land cover have substantially modified the geographic
range of several species, particularly those with specific ecological requirements, such as …

Clouds are critical to the biodiversity and function of Tropical Montane Cloud Forests (TMCF)
as they control water regimes and sunlight that can be perceived by plants. These …

Using a predictive distribution modeling approach, we investigated the expansion and
contraction cycles of the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone in the Espinhaço Range …

Environmental conditions can change markedly over geographical distances along
elevation gradients, making them natural laboratories to study the processes that structure …

Abstract Ecological Niche Modeling uses the geographic coordinates of species presence
records as the primary input to estimate potential geographic distributions. It is little known …

Neotropical montane ecosystems are currently experiencing drastic environmental
alterations due to climate change. Cold and moist high-elevation habitats in the Neotropics …

Biotic variables, including those reflecting interactions such as competition and parasitism,
are generally assumed to have negligible effects on broadscale species distributions and …

The present study synthesizes existing literature on Forest Ecosystem Vulnerability (FEV)
assessments across the world's mountain regions. The synthesis reveals a globally …
