Mountains play an array of roles for Earth’s biodiversity and affect neighboring lowlands through biotic interchange, changes in regional climate, and nutrient runoff. The high biodiversity of certain mountains reflects the interplay of multiple...Rahbek, Carsten ; Borregaard, Michael ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Colwell, Robert ; Holt, Ben …
