Elevational distribution of montane Afrotropical butterflies is influenced by seasonality and habitat structure.
Determinants of elevational distribution of butterfly species richness and abundance in the tropics are poorly understood. Here we assess the combined effects, both additive and interactive, of seasonality and habitat structure on the elevational distribution of butterflies in the Uluguru Mountains,...
