Such investigations should emphasize comparisons both among mountain ranges and along their slopes, drawing upon topotypic examples to explicitly address taxonomic and biogeographic problems at issue. In particular, the possibility of multiple independent originations (speciation) of otomyines in afro-alpine environments on East African mountain tops should be the working hypothesis to be disproven
