I'm interested to learn of research efforts to document the changing climate's effects on and subsequent adaptations (phsiological and behavioral) of alpine species of animals: species that inhabit the arctic-alpine zone of North America's western mountain ranges (including the upper subalpine forests), and likewise in Eurasia and SA. I'm interested in learning of published work as well as in-progress studies. My primary interest is vertebrate species and how they are both directly and indirectly affected by changing climate patterns.
There is quite a bit of published and ongoing work related to climate change and weather impacts on both American Pika and Collared Pika in western North America. For some, pika are the poster child for climate change impacts on alpine animals.
Thank you, Alexander, for pointing me in the direction of Alparc. I just started checking out and this is a great website with some useful resources.
