Elevational gradients in β-diversity reflect variation in the strength of local community assembly mechanisms across spatial scales.

Elevational gradients in β-diversity reflect variation in the strength of local community assembly mechanisms across spatial scales.

Despite long-standing interest in elevational-diversity gradients, little is known about the processes that cause changes in the compositional variation of communities (β-diversity) across elevations. Recent studies have suggested that β-diversity gradients are driven by variation in species pools,...
