In the last century, hundreds of species have gone extinct or have undergone a decline in population size due to climate and land use change. Species can respond to these alterations in different ways, with some species facing extinction while others benefit from these changes. Here, we investigate the effects of climate and land use change on two semi-aquatic mammals, the Pyrenean desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) and the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra), and how climate and land use change might affect the interaction between these two species. We found that the otters will take advantage of these environmental alterations, while desmans will undergo a drastic reduction of their suitable habitats. In addition, the availability of overlapped range margins between the two species might increase, exposing desmans to a potential increased predation risk by otters.
