Climatic specialisation: an explanation for the range size and distribution of bryophytes on a tropical island elevational gradient
Are species physiologically specialised to the specific climatic conditions in their habitats and can this explain their distributions? This thesis addresses this question using a very specific system: bryophytes on the elevational gradient of Piton des Neiges, Réunion Island. Bryophytes are expecte...
