Elevational Patterns of Species Richness, Range and Body Size for Spiny Frogs Junhua Hu, Feng Xie, Cheng Li, Jianping Jiang* Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu, Sichuan, China Abstract Quantifying spatial patterns of species richness is a core problem in biodiversity theory. Spiny frogs of the subfamily Painae (Anura: Dicroglossidae) are widespread, but endemic to Asia. Using spiny frog distribution and body size data, and a digital elevation model data set we explored altitudinal patterns of spiny frog richness and quantified the eff
