How does climate change cause extinction?
... Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For example, will it be limited physiological tolerance to high temperatures, changing biotic interactions or other factors? Here, we systematic ...

Genetic adaptive response: missing issue in climate change
... Adaptation is the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to a trait becoming adapted to local environmental conditions by means of natural selection, i.e. differential survival as a consequence of differences in values of the trait under selection. Adaptive capacity in its genetic sense is potentia ...
