Mixed Coniferous Forest

Caption

The findings indicate that species living in temperate mountain habitats -- particularly in the northern latitudes -- could face even greater repercussions from climate change than previously thought. Pictured above are a lemon-rumped warbler (Phylloscopus chloronotus) (left), a species limited by competition, and a spot-winged tit (Periparus melanolophus) (right), both of which live in mixed coniferous forests (center) such as those found in the Sierra Nevada.
