As Climate Changes, so Could the Genes of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly
The reality of climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity. As temperatures rise, the survival of individual species will ultimately depend on their ability to adapt to changes in habitat and their interactions with other species.
