New study! We just published the first test of the elevational niche-breadth hypothesis using habitat niches of fruit-feeding butterflies and moths on Mount Cameroon in @oikosjournal.bsky.social! It is another chapter from defended PhD thesis of @fpgaona1.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/oik....

Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific ...
