DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70043
Abstract: Identifying and quantifying the main factors that are jeopardizing amphibian communities worldwide is essential for planning effective amphibian conservation. We collected data on the presence/absence of salamanders and newts (Caudata) and frogs and toads (Anura)… read more here.

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.

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.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-019-01011-x
Abstract: The Himalayas are characterized by a broad gradient of bioclimatic zones along their elevation. However, less is known how forest growth responds to climatic change along elevation. In this study, four standard tree-ring width chronologies… read more here.
