Restricted species, like those in rainforests, represent the vast majority of biodiversity, but they face high risks of extinction due to climate change unless they can adapt. Using butterflies as a model, this project will examine whether rainforest restricted species are able to adapt to future climate change and provide insight into their extinction risk.

受限制的物种，如热带雨林中的物种，代表了生物多样性的绝大多数，但除非它们能够适应气候变化，否则它们面临灭绝的高风险。该项目将以蝴蝶为模型，研究雨林限制物种是否能够适应未来的气候变化，并深入了解它们的灭绝风险。
