Resume de l’article : Les papillons d’Equateur : joyaux ailés et thermomètres du changement climatique
L’article « Les papillons d’Équateur, joyaux ailés et thermomètres du changement climatique » published on Sciences et Avenir discusses the impact of climate change on butterflies in Equator. Here is the main point:
* Butterflies in Equator serve as indicators of climate change due to their sensitivity to temperature and precipitation changes
* Research has shown that butterfly populations have shifted their geographical distribution and phenology (i.e. the timing of life-cycle events) in response to climate change
* Warmer temperatures have allowed some butterfly species to expand their range, but have also resulted in decreased abundance and diversity in other areas
* Changes in rainfall patterns have also impacted butterfly populations
* Conservation efforts are necessary to protect butterfly populations and their habitats in the face of climate change.
In summary, butterflies in Equator are affected by climate change, specifically temperature and precipitation changes, which impact their distribution, phenology, abundance and diversity. Conservation actions are necessary to protect butterfly populations and their habitats.
