Scientists Predict Adaptability of Animals to Climate Changes

Scientists at James Cook University (JCU) have discovered a method to anticipate whether or not a mammal can survive a drought. A team of scientists, headed by Dr Tasmin Rymer from JCU, have created a template consisting of a number of important aspects that can influence the adaptability of an animal to conditions of drought. Some of these deciding factors are the environment and the animal’s psychology.
