Abstract:Although protected areas (PAs) are considered fundamental to the conservation of nature, exotic species (ES) impose challenges on their role as biodiversity reservoirs, especially under climate change scenarios. In this regard, PAs of temperate & non-tropical countries of the Southern Hemisphere, like Chile, may be particularly vulnerable to ES due to the high endemism plus the expense due to control programs of exotic species and of the environmental conditions suitable for them. Here, we evaluated how vu… Show more
