Dr. Ben Freeman University of British Columbia, Biodiversity Research Centre Why do tropical species live in narrow slices of mountainsides, and why does this matter in the climate change era? Why do tropical species live in narrow slices of mountainsides? Climate is the prevailing explanation for this pattern, but competition can also restrict species’ elevational ranges. In this talk I will share my research investigating the biogeography of climate change and the relative role of climate and species interactions in shaping species’ ranges in tropical mountains, Earth’s hottest biodiversity hotspots.
