Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Climate change endangers global biodiversity at an unprecedented pace, necessitating urgent understanding of rapid adaptive mechanisms. Notably, the alpine treeline ecotone has experienced marked environmental changes, characterized by an average upward elevation shift of 0.4 m/year. This trend raises critical questions about the evolutionary trajectory and genetic resilience of endemic species, and...
