Detailed explanation-1: -If conditions change more quickly than a species can evolve, however, and if members of that species lack the traits they need to survive in the new environment, the likely result will be extinction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Climate change leads to a loss of species The consequences include habitat loss; shifts in climatic conditions and in habitats that surpass migrational capabilities; altered competitive relationships.
Detailed explanation-3: -If an animal can’t adapt, it’s possible a local population would go extinct, said Reed, a coauthor on the Nature Communications study. Deer don’t shift their breeding to match earlier springs, a maladaptive response that results in fewer offspring raised.
Detailed explanation-4: -Impacts of climate change on ecosystems reduce their ability to improve water quality and regulate water flows. Rapid changes to ecosystems may cause the displacement or loss of many species. Timing of biological events is shifting, affecting species and habitats.
