The terrestrial vertebrate fauna of California is being re-surveyed at a series of specific sites originally studied in the early 1900s, with current focus on an area from the Central Valley through Yosemite National Park to Mono Lake. These surveys have revealed significant elevational and latitudinal shifts in species' ranges over this short time period. Whether species have responded as a collective group to general phenomena, such as global warming, or individually to particular shifts in the habitat, remains the substantive question to answer.

Tweet The Giant Trees of Mariposa Groves
-= Please Like, Comment, and Subscribe =- Yellowstone may be the world's first National Park, but the Yosemite Valley and the Giant Trees of Mariposa Groves happen to be the first large-scale area of public lands set aside for protection. On our trip there this summer, we happen to meet Ranger Lauren who took time to explain the features of the Groves. Throughout the National Park System, the Division of Interpretation provides programs such as this for park visitors. If you've never visited a park and took advantage of a Ranger Talk, here is an example of what you might find.
