This study finds that dietary specialization influences elevational migration in birds, with specialists migrating to track resources and generalists staying at high elevations and supplementing their diet with fruits.

The paper shows that aspect influences vegetation type in the Western Ghats, with north and west-facing slopes supporting more evergreen forests and south and east-facing slopes having more dry deciduous and thorn forests.

The paper shows that southeast and northeast-facing slopes have the least tree cover in the Northern and Southern tropics, respectively, and suggests reforestation strategies should consider slope direction.

The paper shows that monsoonal climate and solar heating asymmetry affect tree cover and height on different slope aspects in the Western Ghats, India.
