Global Warming, Elevational Range Shifts, and Lowland Biotic Attrition in the Wet Tropics
Many studies suggest that global warming is driving species ranges poleward and toward higher elevations at temperate latitudes, but evidence for range shifts is scarce for the tropics, where the shallow latitudinal temperature gradient makes upslope shifts more likely than poleward shifts. Based on...
