Nestedness Patterns of Amphibian Assemblages in Northwestern Iberia Along an Altitudinal Gradient: Implications for Conservation

In order to understand the macroecological architecture of an amphibian metacommunity of a large southern European region located between the Eurosiberian and Mediterranean domains (Galicia), we analyzed nestedness from matrices of presence–absence of 14 species in 3,627 water points, including both ponds and streams, along an altitudinal gradient (0–2,036 m), during a 11-yr period (2003–2013).  Leer más.
