Climate change is not only a problem facing humans, animals must also adapt to it
As the earth heats up, some warm-blooded animals are deforming, and their beaks, limbs and ears are becoming larger in order to better regulate their body temperature
Trends in Ecology & Evolution "Many times when mainstream media discuss climate change, people are asking,'Can humans overcome this difficulty?' or'What technology can solve this problem?' It's time for us to realize that animals must adapt to these changes, and these The time for change to occur is much shorter than the time for most evolutions
Ryding pointed out that climate change is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, and it occurs gradually, so it is difficult to determine the only cause of these changes in animals
In particular, the birds have undergone strong deformation
extreme "So far, the magnitude of these increases we have seen is very small-less than 10%, so these changes are unlikely to be noticed immediately
Next, Ryding intends to use 3D technology to scan museum bird specimens over the past 100 years to investigate the deformation of Australian birds
Ryding said: "Deformation does not mean that animals are'good' in dealing with climate change
