Abstract: A comparison of specimens collected from the same locations but nearly a century apart shows that an alpine chipmunk has suffered reduced genetic diversity and gene flow as a result of climate-driven habitat loss in Yosemite National Park, USA. This study highlights one important impact of climate change on biodiversity
