Pikas in Peril: Tiny Mountain Mammal Faces Uncertain Future

by Tom Rodhouse

Scientists from the National Park Service (NPS) and three western universities predict a complex future for populations of the diminutive and charismatic pika. The hamster-sized member of the rabbit family lives in rocky, icy patches in the western United States.

Funded principally by the NPS Climate Change Response Program, researchers from the NPS, Oregon State University, University of Colorado Boulder and University of Idaho completed a five-year study on pika populations’ vulnerability to climate change in eight national parks. The predictions through the end of this century vary by park because of local conditions such as elevation, weather patterns and genetic diversity.

For example, in cold and wet Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, scientists expect pika populations to survive. However, the researchers predict local extinctions of the species by the year 2100 in other parks, including Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Study findings will help guide park strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change…

FRANCE, MONTIGNAC : An artist works on true-to-life replica of renowned Lascaux’s Stone Age cave paintings, on February 29, 2016, at the future international cave arts museum, Lascaux IV, in Montignac, western France. The cave of Lascaux is one of the largest decorated caves of the Paleolithic. The age of the paintings and engravings is estimated between about 18.000 and 17.000 years. The cave of Lascaux is reproduced identically to be mounted in the International Centre of the parietal art of Montignac-Lascaux. / AFP / MEHDI FEDOUACH                        

I feel like women with depression are still expected to be polite and pretend to be happy in order to keep others happy, while men with depression get to be openly miserable and even rude and their depression can be an excuse for whatever bad behaviour they engage in.
