DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16166
Abstract: PREMISE The formation of isolated montane geography on islands promotes evolution, speciation, and then radiation if there are ecological changes. Thus, investigating evolutionary histories of montane species and associated ecological changes may help efforts to… read more here.

Chimpanzee feeding ecology and fallback food use in the montane forest of Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22971
Abstract: Almost all primates experience seasonal fluctuations in the availability of key food sources. However, the degree to which this fluctuation impacts foraging behavior varies considerably. Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4975
Abstract: The processes that influence community assembly, such as competition for resources and environmental filtering, are often scale dependent and vary across ecotones. Trait‐based ecology provides a useful framework for testing which ecological processes most strongly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-020-02964-4
Abstract: Abstract In species with flexible grouping dynamics (i.e., fission-fusion), party (or subgroup) size is often shaped by available resources. Food resources are thought to limit party size in a range of mammalian species, reflecting a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2019.107835
Abstract: Abstract “Sky islands” are characteristic of sequential mountain-valley terrain where mountains form an island archipelago rising from surrounding valleys of desert “sea”. At high elevations in the Madrean sky islands of the southwestern United States… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03728-4
Abstract: Tropical forests store 40-50 per cent of terrestrial vegetation carbon1. However, spatial variations in aboveground live tree biomass carbon (AGC) stocks remain poorly understood, in particular in tropical montane forests2. Owing to climatic and soil changes… read more here.
