Can Species Evolve Fast Enough To Survive Climate Change?
Scientists are examining whether species can adapt genetically quickly enough to keep pace with rapid climate change. The core concern is that rising temperatures and shifting habitats are outpacing evolutionary change for many plants and animals, raising questions about extinction risks and which species may be able to adapt in time.
Why now: Ongoing climate change is accelerating pressure on ecosystems, making debates about evolutionary adaptation and extinction timely.
