“…We found that bird species distributions can differ significantly and consistently among mountains, and that both abiotic factors and species interactions contribute to these differences. This knowledge is important as we construct models to predict elevational range shifts under future climate change scenarios (Burner, Styring, Rahman, & Sheldon, ). Most future projections have been based solely on temperature (Chen et al, ; Forero‐Medina et al, ; Grytnes, Beaman, Romdal, & Rahbek, ), or temperature plus precipitation (Tingley, Monahan, Beissinger, & Moritz, ), but evidence now suggests that reactions of natural communities to climate change have more complex underpinnings (Devictor et al, ; Dulle et al, ; Tingley et al, ).…”
