The American pika (Ochotona princeps) appears to have experienced a substantial upslope range contraction in the Great Basin in response to climate warming. In California, models predict range contraction, but whether the species' lower elevational limit

The Snow Leopard Panthera uncia is a rare top predator of high-altitude ecosystems and insufficiently surveyed outside of protected areas in Nepal. We conducted a rapid camera-trapping survey to assess the presence of Snow Leopard in the Limi valley of ...

We assess the population of snow leopards in the multi‐use region of Paddar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Alongside we also investigate local land uses and estimate snow leopard distribution across Jammu and Kashmir. This study adds to the evidence that big cats, especially snow leopards, need landscape‐level conservation strategies, rather than solely ...

Water, Wildlife and the World: A Global Synthesis of Trends in Wildlife Ecohydrology Research
ABSTRACT Ecohydrology and hydroecology are interdisciplinary fields that examine the interactions between ecology and hydrology to address critical issues pertaining to both disciplines. However, the study of ‘ecology’ in ecohydrology research has largely focused on vegetation, leading to a gap in knowledge regarding direct relationships between ...

Background Animals inhabiting high altitudes consistently show slow life-histories. The pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis posits behavioural, physiological and/or morphological traits that mediate the trade-off between current and future ...

Gene expression is implicated in the ability of pikas to occupy Himalayan elevational gradient.
Species are shifting their ranges due to climate change, many moving to cooler and higher locations. However, with elevation increase comes oxygen decline, potentially limiting a species' ability to track its environment depending on what mechanisms it ...
