LIGHT. LIFE. LIBERTY. – Connecting People and Ideas
Butterflies are on the move 🦋🌡️A new global study shows that 80% of butterfly species have expanded their ranges, with 79% of all recorded shifts linked to climate change and extreme weather. #iDivResearch www.idiv.de/the-scale-of...
The scale of butterfly range shifts is far greater than previously known — affecting every continent
A new global study shows butterflies are on the move as the climate warms, with far more species expanding their ranges than contracting.
