Impacts of climate change on herpetofauna diversity in the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau Open
Although numerous studies on the impacts of climate change on biodiversity have been published, only a handful are focused on the intraspecific level or consider population‐level models (separate models per population). We endeavored to fi…
