Ecological and evolutionary processes shape below‐ground springtail communities along an elevational gradient

Both ecological and evolutionary processes shape biological communities along elevational gradients. Compared to above‐ground taxa, elevational patterns and processes of below‐ground animals are little studied. Here, we investigated how environmental gradients across elevation may affect species divergence in the past and act as filters of contemporary assembly of soil detritivores via traits. We asked: (1) Are environmental filtering processes due to elevation, vegetation or microhabitat‐related factors driving isotomid springtail community assembly across elevation; (2) did species divergences occur after mountain uplift; and (3) are there environmental factors related to species divergences in the past.
