Revising vulnerability assessments of montane birds in the colombian páramo to account for threats from climate change

Tropical montane ecosystems are highly vulnerable to global climate change, but their species-level conservation vulnerability assessments generally do not incorporate climate threats. The Colombian páramo is a highly diverse montane ecosystem but it contains relatively few species currently identif...

We explore two potential climate change scenarios (RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5), representing best and worst-case projections.

We find?~?90% of species identified as climate-threatened are not currently identified as being of conservation concern, representing a substantial new suite of priority species within the Colombian páramo. Overall, we identify up to 34 páramo bird species that are threatened by climate change but not currently listed as being of conservation concern. Similar mismatches may also occur in other montane taxa and so updating species risk assessments to account for climate change is urgently needed. Implementation of appropriate conservation actions is also needed to reduce species’ risks from climate change.Universidad del Rosario2023-11-012024-01-31T18:32:51Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdf10.1007/s10531-023-02701-z0960-3115https://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/42161Biodiversity and Conservationreponame:Repositorio EdocUR - U.

The Colombian páramo is a highly diverse montane ecosystem but it contains relatively few species currently identified as threatened on the IUCN Red List.
