摘要

高海拔变温动物由于生存范围有限,传播能力有限,依赖外部温度进行生理调节,易受气候变化的影响。在澳大利亚,山区的范围和海拔都有限,这使得适应寒冷的动物对气候变暖特别敏感。Egernia roomi (Kaputar rock skink)是一种极度濒危的蜥蜴,栖息在澳大利亚新南威尔士州Kaputar山高海拔地区的特有蜥蜴。尽管它的保护地位很高,但人们对它的热生态和气候敏感性知之甚少。我们通过量化岩石裂缝的热缓冲能力和模拟未来气候情景下活动时间的变化,预测了气候变化对热活动的潜在影响。野外部署的工作温度模型用于比较整个物种活动季节的缝隙和暴露微栖息地。这些数据与生物物理模型(NicheMapR)相结合,模拟了当前和预测气候条件下的体温、活动时间和水分流失。裂缝始终提供强大的热缓冲,在白天比暴露的表面保持高达28°C的凉爽。NicheMapR模式的预测与观测到的温度一致,并预测在中至高排放情景下,日热活动时间将大幅增加(在RCP8.5下,到2090年将达到+1.6 h/天)。这些发现提供了对物种温度调节潜力的深入了解,并强调了细尺度微栖息地特征在塑造气候脆弱性方面的重要性。

Predicting potential climate-driven changes in activity time for the critically endangered Kaputar rock skink (Egernia roomi)
High-elevation ectotherms are vulnerable to climate change due to their restricted ranges, limited dispersal capacity, and reliance on external temperatures for physiological regulation. In Australia, montane regions are limited in extent and elevation, making their cold-adapted fauna especially sensitive to warming. Egernia roomi (Kaputar rock skink) is a Critically Endangered, crevice-dwelling lizard endemic to the high-elevation areas of Mount Kaputar, New South Wales, Australia. Despite its elevated conservation status, little is known about its thermal ecology or climate sensitivity. We projected potential impacts of climate change on thermal activity by quantifying the thermal buffering capacity of rock crevices, and modelling changes in activity time under future climate scenarios. Field-deployed operative temperature models were used to compare crevice and exposed microhabitats across the species' activity season. These data were combined with biophysical modelling (NicheMapR) to simulate body temperature, activity time, and water loss under present and projected climatic conditions. Crevices consistently provided strong thermal buffering, remaining up to 28 °C cooler than exposed surfaces during the day. NicheMapR model predictions aligned with observed temperatures, and predicted substantial increases in daily thermal activity time under moderate to high emissions scenarios (up to +1.6 h/day by 2090 under RCP8.5). These findings offer insight into the species’ thermoregulatory potential and highlight the importance of fine-scale microhabitat features in shaping climate vulnerability.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are: • The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature • The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature • Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause • Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span • Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment • The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man • Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature • Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever • Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia Article types: • Original articles • Review articles
