A new study investigates which animals will best survive climate change. As the average global temperature increases, extreme weather events like prolonged droughts and heavy downpours are becoming more frequent, and they will only become worse in the coming decades. What will happen to the planet'

but was at the University of Southern Denmark at the time of the study. Owen Jones is an associate professor at the Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark.In the study, the scientists compared weather and climate data from the time the animal data were collected with data on population changes from 157 mammal species from across the globe. They collected 10 or more years of data for each species.

On the other hand, small short-lived rodents have more extreme population changes in the short term. In the event of a prolonged drought, for example, large parts of their food base may disappear more rapidly: insects, flowers, and fruits, and they are left to starve because they have limited fat reserves.

“Habitat destruction, poaching, pollution, and invasive species are factors that threaten many animal species – in many cases even more than climate change,” he emphasized.The researchers’ study not only gives an insight into how these specific 157 mammal species react to climate changes here and now. The study can also contribute to a better general understanding of how the planet’s animals will respond to ongoing climate change.
