本研究的目的是描述沿海拔梯度的多样性模式，这对保护管理和了解山地环境的多样化过程至关重要。本文分析了一组独特的新热带桌山（tepuis）上特有和非特有维管植物（NE）的分布范围和海拔格局。为了探讨高多样性和地方性的潜在原因，我们测试了海拔、面积和中域效应（MDE）的作用。我们还旨在讨论当前龙舌兰生物群的起源。
The aim of the present study was to describe the diversity patterns along elevational gradients that are crucial for conservation management and for understanding diversification processes in montane environments. This article analyses the distributional range and elevation patterns of endemic and non‐endemic (NE) vascular plants living on a unique set of Neotropical table mountains (tepuis). To investigate the potential causes of the high degree of diversity and endemism we tested the role of elevation, area and the mid‐domain effect (MDE). We also aimed to discuss the origin of the current tepuian biota.
