TL;DR: Conceptual clarity is provided by specifying precisely what focal ecological variable is considered to be stochastic with respect to what other variables when using different empirical methods, and what inferences can be drawn by different observational and experimental approaches.

TL;DR: This paper found that species classified as elevational specialists (upper or lower-zone specialists) are relatively more frequent in the American than Asia-Pacific tropics, with African tropics being intermediate.

Beta diversity along environmental gradients: implications of habitat specialization in tropical montane landscapes.
TL;DR: This paper investigated patterns of avian species' distributions in the Tilaran mountains of Costa Rica between 1000 m and 1700 m elevation where a strong moisture gradient exists, revealing nearly complete change in community composition over a few kilometres on the Pacific slope.
Urban mockingbirds quickly learn to identify individual humans

TL;DR: The varying responses of mockingbirds to intruders suggests behavioral flexibility and a keen awareness of different levels of threat posed by individuals of another species: traits that may predispose mockingbirds and other species of urban wildlife to successful exploitation of human-dominated environments.
Do thermoregulatory costs limit altitude distributions of Andean forest birds
TL;DR: This work measured several aspects of thermal physiology of 215 bird species across a 2·6-km altitude gradient in the Peruvian Andes and found reductions in thermal conductance, body temperature and lower critical temperature in highland birds compared with lowland species, which combine to make highland natives more resistant to heat loss.
