CLIMATE CROWD NEWSLETTER - November 2019

New research on changes in the annual birth time of red deer in a warming Scotland suggests that evolution may be partially responsible. Phenological changes (i.e. changes in the timing of life cycle events) are often an indicator of a changing climate and can have adverse impacts on ecosystems. Few studies to date, however, have demonstrated genetic change in response to anthropogenic climate change. This article published by Phys.org provides a summary of the findings.
