Use of ABMI samples to understand genetic variation and changes in genetic structure is identified as an area where ABMI data can be used to understand how biodiversity is adapting to climate change

American Pika populations in Alberta will likely be capable of persisting throughout this century, although their survival will depend increasingly on successful vertical migration.
