Threatened species richness along a Himalayan elevational gradient: quantifying the influences of human population density, range size, and geometric constraints

Threatened species richness along a Himalayan elevational gradient: quantifying the influences of human population density, range size, and geometric constraints

Abstract Background A crucial step in conserving biodiversity is to identify the distributions of threatened species and the factors associated with species threat status. In the biodiversity hotspot of the Himalaya, very little is known about which locations harbour the highest diversity of threate...
