dig-ibe-es-10261-1556672018-10-03T10:25:43Z Discovered just before extinction? The first endemic ant from the Balearic Islands endangered by climate change Talavera, Gerard Espadaler, Xavier Vila, Roger Trabajo presentado en el 5th Central European Workshop on Myrmecology (CEWM 2013), celebrado en Innsbruck (Austria) del 5 al 8 de septiembre de 2013. Global warming may suppose a major threat to biodiversity, although there is limited empirical evidence on the link between ongoing extinction processes and climate change. Organisms on islands are especially vulnerable because of limited possibilities for spatial shifts following climatic conditions. This effect is even more severe in islands ‐ within ‐ islands, like populations occurring in ecologically unique island mountaintops. Based on morphological, molecular and ecological evidence, we document the unexpected discovery of a non ‐ cryptic ant species in the summits of Mallorca island (Spain), which represents the first endemic ant for the Balearics and displays an extremely restricted and altitudinally constrained distribution. Climate ‐ based distribution modelling and the low intraspecific genetic diversity observed indicate low probability for short ‐ term survival, thus becoming a potential model to study real ‐ time climatic ‐ based biodiversity loss. Notably, only the most optimistic future climatic scenario, based on lower energy requirements and emissions, gives some hope for the persistence of this species after a strong bottleneck in the year 2050.
