On the other hand, the bird species are all more common and widespread farther northward, though a few species may become rare in the state. At least six taxa are endemic to this Theme in the Southern Appalachians; three others may also fall in this category, but have not yet been formally described as separate subspecies. Additionally, one moth appears to be a major disjunct from the Northern Appalachians and several others are likely to have a similar distribution but are presently too poorly known. All species listed for this Theme are likely to be strongly affected by climate change, including the effects of increased fragmentation. Appendix B 179
