Background: Inselbergs (granitic and gneissic rock outcrops) are common elements in the Atlantic Forest and present large taxonomic (TD), functional (FD) and phylogenetic (PD) diversity. Aims: We investigated how plant diversity changed across ecological and biogeographic scales by comparing TD, FD...
