How do two Lupinus species respond to temperature along an altitudinal gradient in the Venezuelan Andes?

Temperature determines plant formations and species distribution along altitudinal gradients. Plants in the tropical high Andes, through different physiological and morphological characteristics, respond to freezing night temperatures and high daytime energy inputs which occur anytime of the year. T...
