Multiscale partitioning of small mammal β-diversity provides novel insights into the Quaternary faunal history of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Hengduan Mountains
To assess the validity of four hypothesized drivers (Quaternary climate, niche conservatism, contemporary climate, spatial configuration) of small mammal beta diversity in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and the Hengduan Mountains (HDM).
