ScienceDaily: JCU's Dr Tasmin Rymer led a study that produced a template measuring several crucial factors, including an animal's physiology and environment, to determine how it would handle a severe drought. Dr Rymer said scientists believe the current rate of climate change is unprecedented in Earth's history and will lead to more and worse droughts in many areas. "So we developed a theoretical framework that allows researchers to estimate the likelihood that a species will be able to cope," she said. Dr...
