Abstract

The effect of altitude and latitude on biodiversity (or species richness) has been a topic of great interest for many biogeographers for a long time. This study was conducted to examine the dynamics of species richness of aquatic insects along the altitudinal gradient in 24 wetlands on Mt. Halla, Jeju and test the Rapoport`s rule. The species richness of aquatic insects monotonically decreased with increasing altitude, showing a significant inverse correlation (r
