Dynamics of habitat changes as a result of climate change in Zagros Mountains Range (Iran), a case study on Amphibians
Climate change is currently considered a serious threat for many species and recognized as one of the most important factors in the global biodiversity loss. Among animal groups, amphibians are known to be among the most sensitive groups of vertebrates to climate change due to their inability to travel long distances, and mountain habitat species are more exposed to climate change pressures tha...
متن کاملImpacts and Adaptations to Climate Change in the Biodiversity Sector in Southern Africa
Global climate change is predicted to have substantial impacts on South Africa’s unique and prolific biodiversity but consequences for conservation planning (adaptation) are poorly described. Five distinct technical innovations were developed to address the issue of adaptation of biodiversity to climate change. A case study approach was used to develop tools to better understand the likely resp...

This study was conducted to collect comprehensive identification about Markhoz goat population and to simulate past dynamics of the population under its living conditions.Census data of the population size and the required parametersfor the simulation modelwere obtained frompublished data or were collected in its habitat in the last 3 years. In this study, past population dynamics and expected ...
متن کاملAssessing the impacts of future climate change on protected area networks: a method to simulate individual species' responses.
Global climate change, along with continued habitat loss and fragmentation, is now recognized as being a major threat to future biodiversity. There is a very real threat to species, arising from the need to shift their ranges in the future to track regions of suitable climate. The Important Bird Area (IBA) network is a series of sites designed to conserve avian diversity in the face of current ...
متن کاملThe effects of climate change on the distribution of an invasive fish in Iran: Gambusia holbrooki (Girard, 1859)
Today, invasive species are considered as one of the major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functions. The suitable habitats of these species are expected to be expanded under the effects of future climate change hence it is likely to threaten the existence of native species. Consequently, identifying the current and potential distribution range of invasive species is essential for managem...
