Abstract:Cliff ecology has been studied for decades, providing good information about its high biodiversity values and their vulnerability to climate change. At the same time, literature shows how insular ecosystems are evolutionarily enhanced to present biodiversity hotspots with high endemicity rates, but they are also severely affected by anthropogenic effects. Together, insular cliff communities combine both biodiversity uniqueness and high vulnerability to global change, but few studies have evaluated these partic… Show more
