Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mountains and Lakes are important areas of biodiversity, which are rich in bird diversity, but still lack comprehensive research into bird species diversity. This biodiversity, however, is increasingly under threat from climate change and human land use. While much work has been done to characterize biodiversity in tropical mountains, far less is known about the environmental, seasonal and spatial factors that impact diversity and community structure in subtropical and temperate regions.
The scope of this Special Issue is to make public information about new survey technologies of diversity patterns, conservation and Genetics in biodiversity hotspots in subtropical and temperate regions.
We invite you to share your recent findings via this Special Issue.
