Mean annual temperature shapes distribution of the cryptic wader Ibisbill (Ibidorhyncha struthersii) in the Northwestern Himalayas

Key Points

• Distribution of the Ibisbill is significantly affected by mean annual temperature patterns in its habitat.
• Observational analysis across the Northwestern Himalayas reveals that temperature changes influence wader populations.
• The study employed ecological modeling to explore how varying temperature affects Ibisbill habitats over time.
• Findings highlight the potential impacts of climate change on wader biodiversity, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts.
