Climate Change Too Fast

Birds and butterflies apparently cannot keep up with climate change. Over the course of the past two decades, temperatures in Europe have increased faster than these two groups of animals can cope with by adaptation. This is the result of a European study on Nature Climate Change, which involved also a team from the UFZ. According to this study, butterflies on average trail 135 and birds even 212 kilometres behind the northward shift of their habitats.
