Mountain regions are globally important areas for biodiversity but are subject to multiple
human‐induced threats, including climate change, which has been more severe at higher …

The ski industry is often perceived as having a negative impact on sensitive alpine and
subalpine communities. However, empirical evidence of such impacts is lacking. We …

Identifying climate refugia is key to effective biodiversity conservation under a changing
climate, especially for mountain‐specialist species adapted to cold conditions and highly …

Understanding of the role of body mass in structural-functional relationships is pressing,
particularly because species losses often occur non-randomly with respect to body size. Our …

Climate change has resulted in upward elevational shifts in the distribution of animals and
plants in many areas. The potential consequences of such changes for alpine bird …

Aim High‐elevation specialist species are threatened by climate change and habitat loss,
and their distributions are becoming increasingly reduced and fragmented. In such a …

Aim To assess the extent of the possible future conflict between skiing and biodiversity
driven by climate change, human adaptation and species' distribution shifts. Location Italian …

Climate and land-use change are the most severe threats to biodiversity; their effects are
often intermingled, also with those of landscape/habitat management. Birds of mountain …

Climate change is among the most important global threats to biodiversity and mountain
areas are supposed to be under especially high pressure. Although recent modelling …

Monitoring vulnerable species inhabiting mountain environments is crucial to track
