Comparing the response of birds and butterflies to vegetation-based mountain ecotones using boundary detection approaches.

Comparing the response of birds and butterflies to vegetation-based mountain ecotones using boundary detection approaches.

Mountains provide an opportunity to examine changes in biodiversity across environmental gradients and areas of transition (ecotones). Mountain ecotones separate vegetation belts. Here, we aimed to examine whether transition areas for birds and butterflies spatially correspond with ecotones between...
