Spatial and climatic variables independently drive elevational gradients in ant species richness in the Eastern Himalaya.
Elevational gradients are considered important for understanding causes behind gradients in species richness due to the large variation in climate and habitat within a small spatial extent. Geometric constraints are thought to interact with environmental variables and influence elevational patterns...
