Global Warming is Causing Marine Species to Look for More Temperate Environments

Global warming is causing species to search for more temperate environments in which to migrate to, but it is marine species - according to the latest results of a Franco-American study mainly involving scientists from the CNRS, Ifremer, the Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier and the University of Picardy Jules Verne (1) - that are leading the way by moving up to six times faster towards the poles than their terrestrial congeners.
