|a Many studies suggest that global warming is driving species ranges poleward and toward higher
elevations at temperate latitudes, but evidence for range shifts is scarce for the tropics, where the
shallow latitudinal temperature gradient makes upslope shifts more likely than poleward shifts.
Based on new data for plants and insects on an elevational transect in Costa Rica, we assess the
potential for lowland biotic attrition, range-shift gaps, and mountaintop extinctions under projected
warming. We conclude that tropical lowland biotas may face a level of net lowland biotic attrition
without parallel at higher latitudes (where range shifts may be compensated for by species from
lower latitudes) and that a high proportion of tropical species soon faces gaps between current
and projected elevational ranges. |
