Birds and butterflies are unable to track climate change
Montpellier / London/ Halle/Saale. Birds and butterflies are obviously unable to keep up with climate change. Temperatures have risen faster in the last two decades than both animal groups have been able to adapt. Their northward migration has been slower than appears necessary based on their climatic needs. This is the conclusion of a study which the journal Nature Climate Change published online on Sunday. Based on the statistical average, butterflies and birds lag 135 km and 212 km respectively behind the rise in temperature and northward shift of their habitat.
