Adaptive Research Framework 1. Prioritize species of concern (e.g., Ecology) a. Pika are habitat specialists and they can’t escape to higher ground! - vulnerable montane mammals if temperatures increase the predicted 3 0 C (McDonald and Brown 1992) b. Keystone consumer: Pika influence alpine plant composition, reduce inter-specific competition in plants c. Many predators consume pikas d. Loss of pika leads to trophic cascades
