Ant diversity patterns across tropical elevation gradients: effects of sampling method and subcommunity
Abstract Local diversity may be influenced by niche assembly processes involving competition for limited resources, or by niche conservatism and the length of time clades have had to diversify. Mid‐elevation peaks in ant diversity on wet forest elevational gradients are most consistent with niche co...
