Protect habitat 'stepping stones' to help species cope with climate change
August 27, 2021

Safe passages for species adapting to climate change aren't always being protected, a new study by the University of Liverpool warns. With rising temperatures altering where species can survive, many are moving to newly hospitable patches further north.

How resilient are different species to the effects of global warming?
August 27, 2021

It is not easy to predict how animals—from insects to fish—are going to respond to climate change and especially extremes of temperature. This lack of understanding hinders our ability to predict the vulnerability of these animals to climate change.
