Mountains are global biodiversity hotspots where cold environments and their associated
ecological communities are threatened by climate warming. Considerable research attention …

Rapid recession of glaciers and snowfields is threatening the habitats of cold-water
biodiversity worldwide. In many ice-sourced headwaters of western North America …

Alpine streams are dynamic habitats harboring substantial biodiversity across small spatial
extents. The diversity of alpine stream biota is largely reflective of environmental …

Understanding biotic interactions and how they vary across habitats is important for
assessing the vulnerability of communities to climate change. Receding glaciers in high …

Rapid glacier recession is altering the physical conditions of headwater streams. Stream
temperatures are predicted to rise and become increasingly variable, putting entire …

Genetic differentiation among local groups of individuals, that is, genetic β‐diversity, is a key
component of population persistence related to connectivity and isolation. However, most …

Near-term extirpations of macroinvertebrates are predicted for mountain streams worldwide
as a warming climate drives the recession of high-elevation ice and snow. However …

Disentangling the contemporary and historical factors underlying the spatial distributions of
species is a central goal of biogeography. For species with broad distributions but little …

Abstract 18 The tropospheric water vapor profile record from the Atmospheric Infrared
Sounder (AIRS) 19 now spans over a decade, making it a valuable resource for climate …

With more than 3,700 described species, stoneflies (Order Plecoptera) are an important
component of global aquatic biodiversity. The meltwater stonefly Lednia tumana (Ricker,) is …
