DIS_PHY and DIS_FUN indicate phylogenetic and functional dispersion, respectively. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 Abbreviations: Dist_ele – elevational difference; Dist_rarea – regional area distance; Dist_clim – climate distance; Dist_habit – habitat heterogeneity distance. The abbreviations for the study transects are defined in Table 2.
