Elevation and connectivity define genetic refugia for mountain sheep as climate warms.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2006

Abstract excerpt

Global warming is predicted to affect the evolutionary potential of natural populations. We assessed genetic diversity of 25 populations of desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) in southeastern California, where temperatures have increased and precipitation has decreased during the 20th century. Populations in low-elevation habitats had lower genetic diversity, presumably reflecting more fluctuations in...
