Determining priority areas for an Endangered cold-adapted snake on warming mountaintops (open access)

Determining priority areas for an Endangered cold-adapted snake on warming mountaintops

This article develops a spatial prioritization model based on accurate estimates of remotely-sensed data and maps of threats potentially affecting long-term species persistence to identify priority areas for the conservation of the Endangered Greek meadow viper Vipera graeca, a cold-adapted species inhabiting mountaintops in the Pindos Mountains of Greece and Albania.
