“…Our results indicated that the most important hotspots for the 12 tree species were patches 2 and 3, where 12 such species are likely co-distributed (Fig. 3); these cloud forest patches, in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo, hold important diversity (García-De la Cruz et al, 2013;García-Franco et al, 2008;González-Espinosa, 2011;Williams-Linera, 2002;Williams-Linera et al, 2013), mainly in a beta-diversity sense, which is most important for Mexican cloud forest biotas (Carvajal-Hernández et al, 2014;Williams-Linera et al, 2013).…”
