Butterfly (Insecta: Lepidoptera) assemblage structure along an upland-highland elevational gradient in a Brazilian tepui

Butterfly (Insecta: Lepidoptera) assemblage structure along an upland-highland elevational gradient in a Brazilian tepui

ABSTRACT Pantepui is a biogeographic province in the Guiana Highlands, considered an archipelago of tabletop mountains (tepuis) with a unique and poorly-known biota. Here, we investigate the butterfly assemblage structure along an elevational gradient on the Brazilian side of the Uei Tepui. We sampl...
