Can we please have more of such #ecology #zoology project videos? 😉

Here they are combining #research on #arthropods in mountain areas, #ElevationalGradients, and #DNAsequencing to assess the #SoilFauna in 🇿🇦, old and new one.

What determines the plant species richness along elevational gradients?

In this latest study, we explored the direct, indirect and interaction effects of environmental variables.🧵

🔗 #ClimaticAndNon-climaticEffects on #SpeciesOccurrenceAndAbundance along #ElevationalGradients🔅

EFFECTS:
1️⃣ Low elevation
species abundance (SA): climatic
species occurrence (SO): climatic & non-climatic
2️⃣ High elevation
SA & SO: climatic
