Animals that live in mountainous areas may use altitudinal migration.

The altitudinal range of excursion is equal to 853 meters.

Altitudinal features are not necessarily inherited, but may entirely be due to environment.

The region is geologically young and shows high altitudinal variation.

Vegetation varies considerably due to the large altitudinal range within the park.

These studies are generally directed to the altitudinal shifts in forest species on mountains.

Given its altitudinal range, it might be affected by habitat fragmentation in the long term.

Climate change is expected to lead to latitudinal and altitudinal temperature increases.

Birds are mostly resident in year round, but there may be some altitudinal and short distance migration.

Since there is a wide altitudinal range there are three forest zones.

The altitudinal gradient accounts for most of their variation in plant communities.

Not all mountainous environments exhibit sudden changes in altitudinal zones.

Although resident in many areas, they may make altitudinal movements in response to rains.

They also show an adaptation to high altitudes called altitudinal melanism.

The diversity of habitat types is exceptionally high and derived from the large altitudinal range that the park has.

The species found on Mount Kenya are by far the best model for altitudinal variation.

Nepenthes rhombicaulis has an altitudinal distribution of 1600-2000 m above sea level.

Further inland, due to altitudinal gradation, the nights are a few degrees cooler.

The species has a wide altitudinal distribution and is typically found at elevations of 1200 to 2500 m above sea level.

Wide altitudinal range results in several forest zones.

About 10.7% are altitudinal migrants, coming mainly from the higher reaches of the western, central and eastern Himalayas.

The vegetation of the islands sub-divides into distinct altitudinal zones.

Vertebrate animals often span across altitudinal zones according to the seasons and food availability.

Population growth is causing environmental degradation in altitudinal environments through deforestation and overgrazing.

In Tasmania, such distinctive altitudinal bands do not occur.
