Altitudinal Diversity Patterns

Altitudinal Diversity Patterns is a ecological construct that describes the systematic variation in species richness or composition of insect assemblages along elevational gradients, distinguished by its focus on the influence of altitude as a primary driver of biodiversity distribution in montane ecosystems.
