Four in ten small mammals are climate specialists

An international study published in Nature Communications, with Portuguese participation from the University of Porto, revealed that approximately 40% of the 4,231 small mammal species analyzed globally are climate specialists, meaning they are restricted to specific climate zones such as tropical, dry, temperate, continental, or polar. Half of these species are super-specialists, confined to particular climatic subzones. Specialization is more frequent among rodents and may represent increased vulnerability to rapid climate change, with researchers now intending to investigate whether this vulnerability varies among groups or regions.
