Towards a unified conceptual framework for studies of altitudinal migration: linguistic nuances, taxonomic prevalence, and emerging opportunities
David Vander Pluym,
Nicholas Mason
Abstract:The study and importance of altitudinal migration has attracted
increasing interest among zoologists. Altitudinal migrants are
taxonomically widespread and move across environmental gradients that
transect altitudinal and latitudinal gradients as partial or complete
migrants, subjecting them to a wide array of environments and ecological
interactions. Here, we present a brief synthesis of recent development
and suggest future directions towards a more taxonomically inclusive
conceptual framework for the study … Show more
