Biogeography and Climate Drive Population Divergence and Genomic Vulnerability in High Altitude Endemic Bird

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 4, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐elevation systems support species adapted to extreme conditions, and their rugged terrain and variable microclimates strongly shape evolution and persistence. Yet few studies have evaluated how geography and climate jointly shape genetic diversity, local adaptation and vulnerability to environmental change.

Identifying Conservation and Conflict Zones for Tibetan Brown Bears Under Climate Change Through Integrated Habitat and Prey Modeling on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study evaluates the future habitat dynamics of the Tibetan brown bear on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau under climate change by integrating predator–prey relationships and environmental variables using the MaxEnt model. Results show significant habitat contraction and shifting patterns, increasing the risk of human‐bear conflict.
