Physiological Limits along an Elevational Gradient in a Radiation of Montane Ground Beetles.

A central challenge in ecology and biogeography is to determine the extent to which physiological constraints govern the geographic ranges of species along environmental gradients. This study tests the hypothesis that temperature and desiccation tolerance are associated with the elevational ranges o...
