Behavioral changes are the first adaptation of many organisms to changing environment. Some may adapt, while others may become extinct.

Humankind isn’t the only species that have to adjust to the impacts of climate change and global warming.
A new analysis issued in Trends in Ecology & Evolution exhibits that certain warm-blooded species are starting to “shapeshift” their anatomy concerning climate change.

Many theories verify that animals will be able to adapt to climate change. Short-lived species, such as fruit flies, have more opportunities to evolve than long-lived species, which don’t start breeding for decades.
Animals are demonstrating variations in their sex ratios, endurance to heat, and physique, in addition to shifting their range and changing the timing of crucial life phases. Some of these changes may aid a species’ adaptation, while others may hasten its extinction.
Temperatures are rising, precipitation patterns are shifting, and the weather is becoming less predictable and more intense. Climate change is already altering species and ecosystems on land and in the ocean.
