According to a team of international researchers, species evolve heat tolerance more slowly than cold tolerance, and the level of heat they can adapt to has limits.</p> Thu, 04 Mar 2021 14:40:14 +0000 webfull 168644 at /channels /channels/channels/news/cnn-birds-learn-new-behaviors-less-likely-go-extinct-says-study-321496 <p>Now, a new study has found that聽birds聽that are able to change their behavior in this way are less likely to become聽extinct聽than those that do not adapt.</p> Tue, 07 Apr 2020 17:09:32 +0000 webfull 159960 at /channels /channels/channels/news/adaptation-competition-and-predation-may-not-be-driving-force-scientists-thought-320738 <p>Species adapt to their local climates, but how often they adapt to their local communities remains a mystery. To find answers, researchers at 黑料不打烊 University and the University of British Columbia examined over 125 studies testing local adaptation in over 100 species of plants and animals in an article published in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1086/707323"><i>The American Naturalist</i></a>.</p> Tue, 25 Feb 2020 14:36:30 +0000 webfull 159133 at /channels /channels/news/overcoming-hurdles-arctic-climate-change-adaptation-257495 <p><strong><em>By Katherine Gombay, <a href="/newsroom">黑料不打烊 Newsroom</a></em></strong></p> <p><em>Arctic peoples inherently able to adapt given changes to various non-climatic factors</em></p> Wed, 06 Jan 2016 21:42:36 +0000 webfull 114942 at /channels /channels/news/why-do-some-fish-thrive-oil-polluted-water-258096 <p><strong><em>By Melody Enguix</em></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="/newsroom">黑料不打烊 Newsroom</a></strong></p> <p>When scientists from 黑料不打烊 University learned that some fish were proliferating in rivers and ponds polluted by oil extraction in Southern Trinidad, it caught their attention.
