Mountain regions are globally important areas for biodiversity but are subject to multiple
human‐induced threats, including climate change, which has been more severe at higher …

Quantifying species distributions using species distribution models (SDMs) has emerged as
a central method in modern biogeography. These empirical models link species occurrence …

Chilgoza pine is an economically and ecologically important evergreen coniferous tree
species of the dry and rocky temperate zone, and a native of south Asia. This species is …

Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional
migratory routes are cut off by human encroachment. Forced into smaller and smaller …

Identifying climate refugia is key to effective biodiversity conservation under a changing
climate, especially for mountain‐specialist species adapted to cold conditions and highly …

Empirical studies and habitat suitability modeling project significant shifts in species
distributions in response to climate change. Because habitat fragmentation can impede …

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 …

Observing vegetation dynamics and determining optimum conditions for tree species are
important for the long-term habitat conservation. In this study we evaluate the environmental …

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

Unravelling the environmental factors driving species distribution and abundance is crucial
in ecology and conservation. Both climatic and land cover factors are often used to describe …
