Conservation status of American pikas (Ochotona princeps)
AT Smith - Journal of Mammalogy, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Abstract The American pika (Ochotona princeps) is commonly perceived as a species that is
at high risk of extinction due to climate change. The purpose of this review is two-fold: to …
