Land snail microclimate niches identify suitable areas for climate refugia management on a montane landscape

Climate refugia management is an emerging natural resource sub-discipline but identifying which species would benefit, their climatic requirements, and where both species and suitable conditions are located remains problematic. Land snails have species specific temperature needs and are one of the m...
