Habitat heterogeneity, temperature, and primary productivity drive elevational gradients in avian species diversity

Abstract Aim Anticipating and mitigating the impacts of climate change on species diversity in montane ecosystems requires a mechanistic understanding of drivers of current patterns of diversity. We documented the shape of elevational gradients in avian species richness in North America and tested a...
