Tropical Ectotherms and Climate Change
Threat of Climate Change in the Tropics Climate change is one the most pressing concerns we face as it threatens the biodiversity of both terrestrial and aquatic life. Many studies have been conducted to examine the effects of climate change on the arctic regions. But is climate change primarily a cold region threat? Data from 1884-2020 provided by NASA would suggest so. NASA imaging of global temperature difference from 2020 compared to 1884 Today I joined David Thomson , an associate researcher for Biodiversity & Development Institute , in his talk about climate change in the tropics. David obtained his zoology degree at Aberdeen university, and later his PhD from Glasgow University. Additionally, he has been a quantitative ecologist with the British trust for ornithology and a group research leader at Max Planck Institute in Germany. With less than 1% of climate change research papers being written on the impact of climate change in the tropics, as shown by the IPCC sy
