“…The inconsistent patterns of Oribatida along an altitudinal gradient are subject to environmental factors, geographical distance, and specific species characteristics (Illig et al, 2010; Marian et al, 2018). Influenced by these factors, the altitudinal diversity patterns of Oribatida generally decline linearly (Mumladze et al, 2017) or peak at an intermediate altitude, where the primary productivity is the highest (Liu et al, 2023).…”
