Article Synopsis
- Understanding how biological complexity affects the survival and adaptation of species is critical as ecosystems face pressures from climate and land use changes.
- Evolution via natural selection helps species adapt to these challenges, often centered around complex traits influenced by ecological interactions.
- The articles in this special feature aim to connect the complexity of selected traits with the intricate patterns of species interactions to better comprehend potential ecological impacts and prevent extinctions.
Predicting how individual taxa will respond to climatic change is challenging, in part because the impacts of environmental conditions can vary markedly, even among closely related species. Studies of chipmunks (Tamias spp.) in Yosemite National Park provide an important opportunity to explore the reasons for this variation in response.
