Climate change likely to turn up heat on koalas
2016-06-08 12:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: A changing climate means that by 2070 koalas may no longer call large parts of inland Australia home, researchers have found. Using a detailed ecological model, the University of Melbourne study shows hotter temperatures and altered rainfall patterns will make it much more difficult for koalas to get the water they need - making inland populations vulnerable to heat-stress. The researchers mapped potential koala habitats in 2070 by using information about koala behaviour, physiology, body size,...

"Higher climate temperatures would upset the entire system in the panda reserves and the wild, eliminating vast amounts of bamboo," said one of the researchers James Spotila, professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US. But burning out food sources is not the only problem when it comes to climate change. Rising temperatures...
