Elevational range of mammals, birds, and amphibians in the Himalayas

The lowest and highest elevations known for each species are used to delineate its elevational limits. We assume that species potentially exist between their elevational limits. For species that have a single elevational distribution record (resulting in an elevational range of zero) as well as those with elevational ranges less than 200 m, we adjusted their elevation ranges to 200 m. We verified all data for accuracy by experts within the region and any dubious outlying records were removed. Elevational limits were given for 1,488 species, including 314 mammals, 1027 birds, and 147 amphibians in the Himalayas.
