The fate of Holoregmia, a monospecific genus endemic to the Brazilian Caatinga, under different future climate scenarios

Abstract: Background and aims – Climatic fluctuations during the Pleistocene altered the distribution of many species and even entire biomes, allowing some species to increase their range while others underwent reductions. Recent and ongoing anthropogenic climate change is altering climatic patterns very rapidly and is likely to impact species’ distributions over shorter timescales than previous natural fluctuations. Therefore, we aimed to understand how Pleistocene and Holocene climatic fluctuations might have shaped t… Show more

“…Compreende-se a importância da preservação de habitats naturais e os impactos significativos das atividades humanas na biodiversidade local, e a necessidade de práticas de manejo sustentáveis. Como abordado por Rabelo-Costa et al (2022), ao investigar o destino do gênero Holoregmia, endêmico da Caatinga, sob diferentes cenários climáticos futuros. O estudo prevê a possível extinção de Holoregmia viscida, um exemplo das consequências das mudanças climáticas para espécies endêmicas.…”

“…Numerous studies indicate that Caatinga species may reduce their distribution area in the future (e.g., Cactaceae : Centeno‐Alvarado et al, 2022; Holoregmia viscida : Rabelo‐Costa et al, 2022; endemic flora: Silva et al, 2019, 2022). Our results differ from these studies, as they show that most Caatinga species (58.4%) are likely to increase their distribution, which supports our first hypothesis.…”

“…Changes in species distribution (i.e., range shift) caused by climate change involve the species mortality in sites that may have become unsuitable, and the colonization of previously unoccupied, now suitable locations. However, many species may not successfully inhabit areas covering broad environmental conditions to sustain a viable population (Rabelo‐Costa et al, 2022). It is speculated that this loss of habitat due to climate change may trigger a high loss of biodiversity (CBD, 2021).…”
