Contemporary climate change is modifying the distribution, morphology, phenology, physiology, evolution, and interspecific interactions of species. Effects are mediated not only through magnitude experienced (exposure) an animal's sensitivity to such changes, but also ability population or species adjust climatic variability genetically, behaviorally, spatially (via its distribution) (i.e., adaptive capacity; AC). Here, we used attribute-based framework systematically evaluate compare AC...
Alpine mammals are predicted to be among the species most threatened by climate change, due projected loss and further fragmentation of alpine habitats. As temperature or precipitation regimes may also faced with insurmountable barriers dispersal. The slow rate inability adjust rapidly shifting environmental conditions cause isolated become locally extirpated, resulting in reduced biodiversity. One proposed method for mitigating impacts is assisted migration. This method, which involves...
