Content: The National Park Service will be able to use the data from this study to identify wildlife species that might be especially vulnerable to changes in climate. Josh Hoines, Chief of Natural and Cultural Resource Management in Death Valley National Park, said, "Predicted changes in climate across the desert southwest of a warmer and drier future make Death Valley and the park's extreme climate an ideal place to study how species may respond to those changes. For many species, Death Valley may already represent their physiological limits. This study will shed insights as to how species have responded to climate shifts over the last hundred years and help managers to protect species and their habitats for the next 100 years."
