2008Oct10: University of California, Berkeley, researchers report that warming temperatures have altered the ranges of small mammals in Yosemite National Park. “Ranges for some high-elevation mammals such as the alpine chipmunk have shrunk, while animals living at low elevations, such as the harvest mouse, have expanded their ranges into higher reaches.” The research article appeared in Science (CNN, 2008).
