Can Species Evolve Fast Enough To Survive Climate Change?
Scientists are examining whether species can adapt genetically fast enough to keep pace with rapid climate change. The question has renewed attention in biology coverage, as rising temperatures force plants and animals to migrate, adjust their life cycles, or face extinction. Researchers note that while some fast-reproducing species show rapid evolutionary responses, many longer-lived animals and plants may be unable to adapt in time, raising concerns about widespread biodiversity loss.
Why now: Climate change is accelerating habitat shifts, prompting renewed scientific and public debate about whether evolutionary adaptation can keep pace.
