Trait‐based climate vulnerability of native rodents in southwestern Mexico
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 12, Page 5864-5876, June 2020., 2020 We used a trait‐based approach together with climate exposure models to evaluate the potential vulnerability of rodent species to climate change in Oaxaca, the most mammal‐diverse state in Mexico. Depending on the climate scenario, most to all species were projected to have some level of vulnerability with narrow and restricted range species projected ...
