Previously, researchers found that some animals confronted by changing climate are likely to alter their timing of migration or shift their ranges poleward or up a mountain slope. But a new generation of research is finding that more fundamental changes may occur in animal life history.
The bee, which is widespread across the Northern Hemisphere, adopts a distinctly more social lifestyle in the warmer reaches of its range, including the south of England and Ireland. Each queen emerging in spring lays a batch of largely female eggs, feeding and tending them until they mature into a small workforce, which in turn raises the final generation of the year.
Pantless tree frogs (Dendropsophus ebraccatus) there lay eggs that develop either on land or in the water. The frogs were the first species found to produce dual-habitat clutches.
And yes, climate change could affect mental powers, he says. He’s worked with Vladimir Pravosudov of the University of Nevada, Reno on chickadees that appear to need better spatial memory to cope with the harsh northern ends of their ranges. Warming may relax the pressures for the birds to stay as sharp.
All life will be affected... except for humans. We are best at adapting and controlling the environment. If bees still lived and we could still pollinate shyt... would we really care if all these animals are affected as long as our technology helps us adapt?
