How do latitude and altitude affect organisms that live in a biome?
Both affect the climate of a biome, and therefore determine how the organisms living there will have adapted to their environment.

Altitude has a similar effect, all things being equal, the higher the elevation, the colder it is. Another thing to consider, is that less oxygen is available to organisms living at very high altitudes, and they have adapted to survive in these conditions.
