New study! We just published the first test of the elevational niche-breadth hypothesis using habitat niches of fruit-feeding butterflies and moths on Mount Cameroon in @oikosjournal.bsky.social! It is another chapter from defended PhD thesis of @fpgaona1.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/oik....

Chapter from a recently defended PhD thesis of @fpgaona1.bsky.social has just been published in the African Journal of Ecology! Elevational patterns in two groups of micromoths (#Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae, Alucitidae) in tropical forests of Mount Cameroon onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
