Abstract
The montane forest habitats of the Andes support exceptionally high biodiversity, with many species occupying narrow elevational ranges (e.g., Terborgh, 1977). These attributes, combined with the short migratory distances, often <30km separates the lowlands from the upper forest line, allows montane forests to be extremely sensitive monitors of climatic change.
