New device tracks how wildfire smoke affects wildlife
Original: New device is helping scientists learn how wildfire smoke impacts wildlife
Scientists are using a new device to study how wildfire smoke impacts wild animals, a topic that has received little research compared with effects on human health. As wildfires grow more frequent and intense, the findings could reveal how smoke exposure influences animal breathing, behaviour and survival, and help conservationists protect vulnerable species during fire seasons.
Why now: Wildfires are increasingly common, and researchers are turning attention to understudied health effects on animals.
