Biologists Alarmed as Newly Discovered Chain Reaction Threatens to Trigger Mass Extinction Across Multiple Species Worldwide

IN A NUTSHELL ๐Ÿ”ฅ Rising temperatures increase internal competition within species, threatening their survival before reaching thermal limits. ๐Ÿงช Researchers at Rice University used Daphnia pulex to study effects of temperature on population dynamics. ๐Ÿ“‰ A 50% population decline was observed with each 12.6ยฐF increase due to intensified competition. ๐ŸŒฟ Findings challenge assumptions that species … Continue reading Biologists Alarmed as Newly Discovered Chain Reaction Threatens to Trigger Mass Extinction Across Multiple Species Worldwide
