Functional and phylogenetic diversity of bird assemblages are filtered by different biotic factors on tropical mountains

2019-02-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: It is not yet clear whether similar mechanisms influence the assembly of ecological communities across different continents. Here, we investigated the functional and phylogenetic diversity of bird assemblages along elevational gradients in two biogeographic regions in order to identify how these are driven by biotic factors, such as food resources and vegetation structure, and abiotic factors, such as ambient...
