Climate Change and Crop Pollination
Climate Change and Crop Pollination Reading A report that describes the effect of climate change on animal pollinators and crop pollination. This report from 2011 by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) details the different climate variables, such as temperature, precipitation and extreme climate events that affect crop pollination. It further highlights the potential economic […]
Evolutionary Adaptation in Response to Climate Change
Evolutionary Adaptation in Response to Climate Change Video A video that briefly describes evolutionary adaptations in animals due to climate change.

Students will learn how climate change […]
Move, Adapt or Die
‘Move, Adapt or Die’ Reading A reading that discusses different aspects of evolutionary adaptations to climate change in animals. This reading by Renee Cho, Earth Institute, Columbia University, uses various examples to showcase how animals adapt to climate change and how a warming climate forces animals to ‘move, adapt or die’. Students will learn about […]
