4.3 Future Habitat Shift to Higher Elevation Through statistical analysis of habitat distribution under various climate scenarios, we observed a clear trend of C. domestica suitable habitat shifting toward higher elevation in response to climate change, with newly formed habitats always at higher altitudes than lost habitats (Figure 5 ), which is consistent with the general pattern of global mountain species tracking climate change (Lenoir et al. 2008 ; C.
