Temperature, but not productivity or geometry, predicts elevational diversity gradients in ants across spatial grains

GLOBAL ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY, 16(5), 640–649.

By: N. Sanders *, J. Lessard*, M. Fitzpatrick * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: N. Sanders *, J. Lessard*, M. Fitzpatrick * & R. Dunn n
