Small mammal responses to environmental change: integrating past and present dynamics (2014, background): “This has been documented for mesic herbivores, such as the pika (Ochotona princeps) and bushytailed woodrat, in the Great Basin during both paleontological and neontological times (Smith and Betancourt 1998; Beever et al. 2003; Grayson 2005; Murray and Smith 2012; Smith et al. 2014).”
Differential effects of past climate warming on mountain and flatland species distributions: a multispecies North American mammal assessment (2006, background): “... one expectation may be increased fragmentation before eventual range contraction given that southern range edge populations of most western North America mammal species currently occupy a wider range of elevations and temperature regimes than those at northern edges (Guralnick, in press a, b). A”
Revisiting the past to foretell the future: summer temperature and habitat area predict pika extirpations in California (2015, background): “Finally, temperature is supported as a limiting constraint by the palaeontological record of upslope range retreat by pikas since the Last Glacial Maximum (Grayson, 2005).”
Range dynamics of small mammals along an elevational gradient over an 80‐year interval (2009, background): “princeps were sighted during the current surveys, but not targeted because recent studies document substantial population declines and local extinctions in this region (Beever et al., 2003; Grayson, 2005).”
Did climatic seasonality control late Quaternary artiodactyl densities in western North America (2008, background): “…of global warming on extinctions and extirpations of Great Basin small mammals (McDonald and Brown, 1992; Murphy and Weiss, 1992; Lawlor, 1998; Grayson, 2002, 2005, 2006b; Beever et al., 2003), and much of this work draws, to one degree or another, on late Quaternary paleorecords of the…”
Distribution and Climatic Relationships of the American Pika (Ochotona princeps) in the Sierra Nevada and Western Great Basin, U.S.A.; Periglacial Landforms as Refugia in Warming Climates (2010, background): “One interpretation of this finding is that variability in population status exists across the species’ range, and specifically that population viability may be lower in the central Great Basin relative to Sierra Nevada, a situation previously implicated (Beever et al., 2003; Grayson, 2005).”
The Late Quaternary biogeographic histories of some Great Basin mammals (western USA) (2006, background): “Thus, one cannot infer from the geographic and habitat restrictions of today’s American pikas where they may have lived in the past. time in the Great Basin (from Grayson, 2005).”
Contemporary climate change alters the pace and drivers of extinction (2011, background): “Paleontological and genetic data indicate that the distribution of O. princeps has expanded and contracted through time in concert with glacial–interglacial cycles (Grayson, 2005; Galbreath et al., 2009b).”
Ecological niche modelling of montane mammals in the Great Basin, North America: examining past and present connectivity of species across basins and ranges (2009, background): “For example, the American Pika, Ochotona princeps, was found at elevations 800 m below current known elevations as recently as 12 ka (Grayson, 2005).”
Tectonics, topography, and mammalian diversity (2010, background): “…or barren stretches in extensive, linear mountain ranges or of alpine regions on smaller, separated mountain ranges (such as in the Great Basin) should reduce dispersal and increase extinction risk, as is presently occurring for Ochotona princeps (pikas) of the western United States (Grayson 2005).”
Isolation and introgression in the Intermountain West: contrasting gene genealogies reveal the complex biogeographic history of the American pika (Ochotona princeps) (2010, background): “Isolation during the Last Glacial Maximum may have been promoted by montane glaciers that were particularly extensive in the Rocky Mountains north-west of the Wyoming Basin (Porter et al., 1983; Brouillet & Whetstone, 1993), and subsequent range retraction during Holocene climate warming would have ”
