A new study led by researchers from �㽶��Ƶ finds that cold-adapted Arctic species, like the thick-billed murre, are especially vulnerable to heat stress caused by climate change.</p> <p>“We 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,” says lead author Emily Choy, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Natural Resource Sciences Department at �㽶��Ƶ.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/lrm_export_28340278513041_20190805_211854023.jpeg?itok=8Sf-P8zN" width="160" height="129" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">7 </span><span class="month">July </span><span class="year">2021</span></div></div></div></div></div> Wed, 07 Jul 2021 14:00:49 +0000 webfull 171492 at /channels
