Summary

[edit]
Description

Earlier this week we shared a just-released study examining the vulnerability of national parks to shifting vegetation patterns; you might remember a few weeks ago when we pointed out that this is already documented in parks like Noatak National Preserve. Are you wondering if the same is true for animals? Indeed, many small mammals have been documented moving upslope in the Yosemite National Park Wilderness (pictured here) and birds’ wintering ranges across North America have been moving north. Just as we humans go north or to the mountains to beat the heat, it appears that animals are doing the same thing.
