Global warming may pose a major threat to global biodiversity (Urban, 2015), and the risk of extinction from climate change may be far greater for tropical species. For example, projected extinction rates have been predicted to be highest among species from low-latitude biodiversity hotspots (Malcom et al., 2006). Recent projections based on extinctions that have already occurred suggest that future species-level extinctions may be twice as high in frequency among tropical species than among temperate species (Román-Palacios & Wiens, 2020). While many authors have postulated that tropical species may be more vulnerable to climate change (e.g.
