New research reveals how climate change can disrupt the evolutionary process and ecological balance. The study on apple maggot flies shows that warmer temperatures predicted for the future can affect these species differently, potentially halting speciation, and creating potential chaos in the ecological timing of insect communities.
New research delves into the potential repercussions of global warming on ecosystems, and how it could derail the development of newspecies.
Across the globe, new species constantly emerge as separate groups of organisms branch off and evolve in divergent paths. But what occurs when climate change becomes a variable in this complex equation?
That’s the question Thomas H.Q. Powell, assistant professor of biological sciences at Binghamton University, State University of New York…
