Abstract excerpt
The change in species richness along elevational gradients is a well-known pattern in nature. Niche theory predicts that increasing species richness in assemblages can either lead to denser packing of niche space ('niche packing') or an expansion into its novel regions ('niche expansion'). Traditionally, these scenarios have been studied using functional traits but stable isotopes provide advantages such as...
