The American pika, known for its climate sensitivity, faces increased risks due to rising temperatures. Recent studies reveal that pikas at lower elevations are more nocturnal compared to their high-elevation counterparts.

Researchers used motion-capture cameras and temperature loggers in Lassen National Forest, CA, to study 35 pikas. Findings show that rock structures provide thermal buffering, boosting pika activity. However, extreme temperatures (≥25.5°C) reduce overall and nocturnal activity.
