Abstract
Alejandro de la Fuente investigated the impacts of climate change on the threatened endemic vertebrates of the Australian Wet Tropics, exclusive to the high-altitude wet tropics rainforests. The thesis focused on understanding the mechanisms by which climate change induce population declines.
