Figure 4
Rodent species richness (interpolated) along the elevational gradients on the southern and northern slopes of Mt. Taibai, China, with predicted richness and its 95% simulation limits of the mid-domain null models generated from 50,000 simulations. The r 2 and P values for each linear regression of the observed richness against the predicted richness are presented to indicate the fit of the null mid-domain effect models. Larger-ranged and smaller-ranged species are the species with elevational ranges above and below the median range size, respectively. The horizontal axis indicates the midpoints of the elevational bands.
