African Gemsbok Spreading Across New Mexico
Original: African Gemsbok Spreading in New Mexico: How Far Could They Go Under Climate Change? | Newswise
African gemsbok, an antelope species introduced decades ago for hunting, are expanding their range in New Mexico. New research examines how far the animals could spread as climate change alters the state's desert landscapes, raising questions about their impact on native ecosystems and whether management efforts will be needed to control the population.
Why now: New research on how climate change may enable an introduced species to expand its range in the American Southwest has drawn attention.
