Abstract:Background
Together with other elevated areas, the Mountains of Central Asia are significantly threatened by ongoing climate change. The presence of refuges during the glaciations makes the region extremely rich in species, especially endemic ones. However, the limited potential for colonisation of other habitats makes rocky-related species with ‘island‐like’ distribution, particularly vulnerable to climate change. To understand the processes underlying species response to climate warming, we a… Show more
