Variation in song structure along an elevation gradient in a resident songbird
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00265-019-2786-5
Abstract: Heterogeneous environments can create differential selection pressures among populations, which may result in the evolution of local adaptations. Premating isolation mechanisms may emerge due to limited movement among locally adapted individuals, thus further enhancing such… read more here.

Plant Production Responses to Precipitation Differ Along an Elevation Gradient and Are Enhanced Under Extremes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0296-3
Abstract: The sensitivity of plant production to precipitation underlies the functioning of ecosystems. Studies that relate long-term mean annual precipitation and production across multiple sites (spatial relationship) or examine interannual linkages within a site (temporal relationship)… read more here.
