This project aims to determine whether species that have small geographic ranges and which live in historically stable refugia have evolved narrow climatic tolerances. The project will compare such species with more widespread, related species living in the same areas and combine field- and lab-based estimates of physiological tolerances with genomic estimates of population history and diversity. The expected outcome is to test the prediction from evolutionary theory that small-range, refugial species are intrinsically more sensitive to climatic change. The project expects to provide improved guidance for ecological management of biodiversity hotspots.

这个项目的目的是确定是否有小的地理范围和生活在历史上稳定的避难所的物种已经演变成狭窄的气候耐受性。该项目将把这些物种与生活在同一地区的更广泛的相关物种进行比较，并将联合收割机对生理耐受性的实地和实验室估计与对种群历史和多样性的基因组估计相结合。预期的结果是检验进化理论的预测，即小范围的避难物种本质上对气候变化更敏感。该项目预计将为生物多样性热点的生态管理提供更好的指导。
