A new study led by researchers from 平特五不中 finds that cold-adapted Arctic species, like the thick-billed murre, are especially vulnerable to heat stress caused by climate change.</p> <p>鈥淲e discovered that murres have the lowest cooling efficiency ever reported in birds, which means they have an extremely poor ability to dissipate or lose heat,鈥 says lead author Emily Choy, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Natural Resource Sciences Department at 平特五不中.</p> Tue, 06 Jul 2021 20:42:55 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 269913 at /newsroom
