Habitat Dynamics and Protected Area Effectiveness of the Endangered Paphiopedilum Subgen. Brachypetalum (Orchidaceae) Under Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study explores how global climate change reshapes the suitable habitats and conservation potential of Paphiopedilum subgen. Brachypetalum, a flagship group of endangered terrestrial orchids in East and Southeast Asia. Using 580 field‐verified and 75 global occurrence records, we applied an ensemble modeling framework (BIOMOD2) integrating 11 ...

Temperature Series for 19 Caves Across the Western Italian Alps

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
We present a validated temperature dataset from 19 caves in the Western Italian Alps (2012–2025), offering over 160,000 records. Designed for reuse, the data enable future studies on cave microclimates, thermal buffering, and climate sensitivity in subterranean ecosystems. ABSTRACT Caves represent challenging systems for monitoring temperature dynamics.

Data from: Fine-grain, large-domain climate models based on climate station and comprehensive topographic information improve microrefugia detection

, 2016
Large-domain species distribution models (SDMs) fail to identify microrefugia, as they are based on climate estimates that are either too coarse or that ignore relevant topographic climate-forcing factors.

Data from: Interglacial microrefugia and diversification of a cactus species complex: phylogeography and palaeodistributional reconstructions for Pilosocereus aurisetus and allies

, 2014
The role of Pleistocene climate changes in promoting evolutionary diversification in global biota is well documented, but the great majority of data regarding this subject come from North America and Europe, which were greatly affected by glaciation. The

Mountains as Evolutionary Arenas: Patterns, Emerging Approaches, Paradigm Shifts, and Their Implications for Plant Phylogeographic Research in the Tibeto-Himalayan Region

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Recently, the “mountain-geobiodiversity hypothesis” (MGH) was proposed as a key concept for explaining the high levels of biodiversity found in mountain systems of the Tibeto-Himalayan region (THR), which comprises the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the ...

Intraspecific functional differences of subalpine plant species growing in low-altitude microrefugia and high-altitude habitats

, 2020
Mountain ice holes are microrefugia at low altitudes characterized by colder temperatures compared to the surrounding areas. Ice holes harbor extra-zonal plant communities composed of plant species that generally grow at higher altitudes in subalpine ...

Climate change adaptation strategies for Australian birds [PDF]

, 2013
In the first continental analysis of the effects of climate change on a faunal group, we identified that the climate space of 101 Australian terrestrial and inland water bird taxa is likely to be entirely gone by 2085, 16 marine taxa have breeding sites ...

Locating North African microrefugia for mountain tree species from landscape ruggedness and fossil records

, 2020
International audienceIn order to optimize conservation policies for endangered plant species in North Africa and minimize the investment of the public resources we explore the capacity of a mountain plant species to persist locally in restricted natural
