ABSTRACT Montane landscapes present an array of abiotic challenges that drive adaptive evolution amongst organisms. These adaptations can promote habitat specialisation, which may heighten the risk of extirpation from environmental change. For example, higher metabolic rates in an endothermic species may contribute to heightened cold tolerance, whilst ...

Genomic Vulnerability of a Sentinel Mammal Under Climate Change
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly in alpine ecosystems where species have already undergone elevational range shifts. Genomics can be used to estimate the adaptive potential of species, as well as the shift in adaptive genomic composition necessary for populations to adjust to climate change (e.g., genomic

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae
Summary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...

Animal movements play a crucial role in ecosystem dynamics, regulating numerous functions from nutrient cycling to habitat coupling. Therefore, any factor modulating animal behavior (e.g. physiology and individual preferences in habitat choice) has the potential to influence ecosystem functioning.
