This study investigated the effect of elevation on the species richness of fungal populations on the Pacific slope of the Tilarán Mountains in Costa Rica. The hypothesis being that changes in abiotic factors caused by change in elevation would be more or less favorable to growth of fungal communities. There was a total of 103 morphospecies found in six elevational transects between 1575m and 1825m. Statistical analysis showed a negative correlation between species richness and elevation, and that there was a strong trend between species turnover and distance between transects. Although the negative correlation opposes the hypothesis, an explanation may be found when considering extreme weather conditions due to a recent temporal. En esta in...
