Climate and land-use change are the most severe threats to biodiversity; their effects are
often intermingled, also with those of landscape/habitat management. Birds of mountain …

Alpine ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change. For widely distributed
alpine specialists, rear‐edge populations are disproportionately important; it is expected that …

Rear‐edge alpine biodiversity is expected to suffer one of the largest ecological impacts due
to current and foreseen climate change. For highly mobile and long‐living species, climate …

At first glance, the ground surrounding the glacier front and the streams originated by
melting glaciers seem to be too extreme to host life forms. They are instead ecosystems …

Fine‐scale habitat selection modelling can allow a mechanistic understanding of habitat
selection processes, enabling better assessments of the effects of climate and habitat …

The White-winged Snowfinch Montifringilla nivalis nivalis is assumed to be highly
threatened by climate change, but this high elevation species has been little studied and the …

Species living in high mountain areas are currently threatened by climate change and
human land use changes. High‐elevation birds frequently inhabit island‐like suitable …

During breeding, parents of avian species must increase their foraging efforts to collect food
for their offspring, besides themselves. Foraging trips are thus a key aspect of the foraging …

Microhabitat utilisation holds a pivotal role in shaping a species' ecological dynamics and
stands as a crucial concern for effective conservation strategies. Despite its critical …

High mountain areas are subject to strong seasonal fluctuations, and species inhabiting
these particular environments show a high degree of habitat specialization to cope with …
