Altitudinal range-size distribution of breeding birds and environmental factors for the determination of species richness: An empirical test of altitudinal Rapoport's rule and non-directional rescue effect on a local scale.

Range-size distributions are important for understanding species richness patterns and led to the development of the controversial Rapoport's rule and Rapoport-rescue effect. This study aimed to understand the relationship between species richness and range-size distribution in relation to envi...
