TL;DR: A novel framework for conceptualising, quantifying and unifying discordant patterns of species richness along geographical gradients is introduced and it is conjectured that elevational range midpoints of species may be drawn towards a single midpoint attractor - a unimodal gradient of environmental favourability.

Beyond the Trees: A Comparison of Nonwoody Species, and Their Ecology, in Papua New Guinea Elevational Gradient Forest
Tiberius Jimbo,S. M. Saulei,Jimmy Moses,B. Lawong,Graham S. Kaina,Robert Kiapranis,Abe Hitofumi,Vojtech Novotny,Fabio Attorre,Riccardo Testolin,Daniele Cicuzza +10 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the richness of nonwoody species (ferns, herbs, lianas, palms, and shrubs) in 31 sites across undisturbed and disturbed forests in the lowland of Papua New Guinea (PNG) and at montane forest sites at 2,700 m a.s.l.

Nutrient use by tropical ant communities varies among three extensive elevational gradients: A cross‐continental comparison
Jimmy Moses,Marcell K. Peters,Yvonne Tiede,Ondrej Mottl,David A. Donoso,Nina Farwig,Tom M. Fayle,Vojtech Novotny,Nathan J. Sanders,Petr Klimes +9 more
TL;DR: While the structure of ant communities changed similarly with elevation, both the seasonal and elevational effects on nutrient use by ants differed between continents, and it is argued that regional differences in climate and nutrient availability rather than ant functional composition shape nutrient use.
