Diversity and altitudinal distribution of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) on Mount Cameroon

Altitudinal distribution and composition of biodiversity are a major current focus in ecology and biogeography, as they provide valuable insights into how biotic communities respond to changing ecological and climatic conditions. In this study, we document bat species richness and abundance along a...
