Half of All Species Are on the Move—And We're Feeling ItAs climate change displaces everything from moose to microbes, it’s affecting human foods, businesses, and diseases.

Climate Change Threatens Thousands of Species in Our LifetimeAn alarming study finds at 4.5 degrees warming, the world’s most biologically diverse ecosystems could see local extinction of half their plant and animal species.

Climate Change Is Driving Birds to Migrate Early

Birds Are Trying To Adapt To Climate Change — But Is It Too Little, Too Late?By breeding and migrating earlier, some birds are adapting to climate change. But it's probably not happening fast enough for some species to survive, according to new research.

Climate Change Will Cause Massive Movement Of Wildlife, Study SaysBy Jessica Meszaros A new study describes the future mass redistribution of plants and animals on Earth due to climate change. The research conducted by

Phenological Synchrony and Bird Migration: Changing Climate and Seasonal Resources in North AmericaBird migration is a well-researched phenological event. However, few studies in North America have investigated the effects of climate change and extreme weather on the relationships of migratory avian species and their seasonal resources. This is a critical gap in knowledge that limits our ability

Mapping How Climate Change Will Affect Animal MigrationGlobal warming over the next century means that species will move to cooler climates, but manmade barriers often stand in the way.

Climate change: global reshuffle of wildlife will have huge impacts on humanityMass migration of species to cooler climes has profound implications for society, pushing disease-carrying insects, crop pests and crucial pollinators into new areas, says international team of scientists

Climate changes faster than animals adaptAlthough animals do commonly respond to climate change, such responses are in general insufficient to cope with the rapid pace of rising temperatures and sometimes go in wrong directions.

Some animals can adapt to climate change—just not fast enoughA small number of birds have adjusted breeding times to match earlier springs, but it's not clear whether they can breed early enough to assure survival.
