Climate Change Hastens Extinction In Madagascar's Reptiles And Amphibians
 

New research provides the first detailed study showing that global warming forces species to move up tropical mountains as their habitats shift upward.

These species are moving upslope to compensate for habitat loss at lower and warmer altitudes.
