StarStarStarStar

Albatrosses

StarStarStarStar

Changing wind patterns affect their foraging efficiency, which can lead to lower breeding success.

StarStarStarStar

Coral Reefs

StarStarStarStar

Higher ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching and increased ocean acidification leads to weakened coral structures.

StarStarStarStar

African Wild Dogs

StarStarStarStar

Higher temperatures lead to heat avoidance behavior, restricting their hunting activity and reducing their success.

StarStarStarStar

Krill

StarStarStarStar

Warmer oceans and reduced ice cover in the Antarctic are affecting krill populations, impacting the entire food web.

StarStarStarStar

Saguaro Cacti

StarStarStarStar

Increased temperatures and prolonged drought may reduce growth and reproductive potential of these desert icons.

StarStarStarStar

North Atlantic Right Whales

StarStarStarStar

Warming seas shift prey distributions, causing whales to change migration routes, leading to increased ship strikes.

StarStarStarStar

Red Knots

StarStarStarStar

The timing of their migration is affected by climate change, which can lead to misalignment with peak prey abundance at stopover sites.

StarStarStarStar

American Pika

StarStarStarStar

Sensitive to heat, pikas are moving to higher altitudes with cooler temperatures, reducing their habitat range.

StarStarStarStar

Golden Toads

StarStarStarStar

Extinct possibly due to climate change increasing cloud cover in its mountainous habitat that reduced temperatures and increased moisture.

StarStarStarStar

Salmon

StarStarStarStar

Warmer river temperatures and increased droughts can impact spawning success and reduce suitable freshwater habitat.

StarStarStarStar

Quiver Trees

StarStarStarStar

Succulent plants like quiver trees are affected by increasing temperatures that exceed their tolerance limits.

StarStarStarStar

Monarch Butterflies

StarStarStarStar

Warmer temperatures impact migration patterns and disrupt the timing of food plant availability.

StarStarStarStar

Sea level rise

StarStarStarStar

Rising sea levels threaten to inundate nesting habitats for shoreline-dependent species like turtles and seabirds.

StarStarStarStar

Atlantic Cod

StarStarStarStar

Warming ocean temperatures affect cod populations by disrupting spawning and leading to food web alterations.

StarStarStarStar

Arctic Foxes

StarStarStarStar

As the Arctic warms, red foxes expand their range northward, leading to competition and diminished resources for Arctic foxes.

StarStarStarStar

Mountain Gorillas

StarStarStarStar

Warming climate could alter the vegetation of their montane forest habitat, impacting food sources and habitat structure.

StarStarStarStar

Emperor Penguins

StarStarStarStar

Dependent on sea ice for breeding, climate change can lead to unsuccessful reproduction and chick mortality.

StarStarStarStar

Australian Brush-turkey

StarStarStarStar

Temperature increases have led to changes in reproductive behavior, with mounds being built earlier in the season.

StarStarStarStar

African Elephants

StarStarStarStar

Droughts and changes in vegetation patterns affect water and food availability for these megafauna.

StarStarStarStar

Adélie Penguins

StarStarStarStar

Declining Antarctic sea ice reduces the availability of krill, their primary food source, affecting their breeding success.

StarStarStarStar

Sea Turtles

StarStarStarStar

Rising temperatures influence sex ratios at hatching (more females) and lead to habitat loss through beach erosion.

StarStarStarStar

Bearded Vultures

StarStarStarStar

Changes in snowpack and carcass availability due to warming affect their food resources and breeding success.

StarStarStarStar

Elk

StarStarStarStar

Climate change alters plant phenology, which can affect the timing of food availability for these herbivores.

StarStarStarStar

Polar Bears

StarStarStarStar

Reduction in sea ice diminishes hunting grounds leading to decreased body condition and lower cub survival rates.

StarStarStarStar

Walruses

StarStarStarStar

Loss of sea ice forces walruses to use land resting sites, leading to overcrowding and increased mortality from stampedes.

StarStarStarStar

Narwhals

StarStarStarStar

Melting sea ice affects their habitat and may increase exposure to predation and human interference.

StarStarStarStar

Tropical Frogs

StarStarStarStar

Higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns can lead to increased susceptibility to disease and altered reproductive timings.

StarStarStarStar

Koalas

StarStarStarStar

Increased heatwaves and droughts lead to dehydration and loss of eucalyptus habitat, which is critical for their survival.

StarStarStarStar

Snow Leopards

StarStarStarStar

Climate-induced shifts in prey populations and alpine habitat range can lead to reduced food availability.

StarStarStarStar

European Honey Bees

StarStarStarStar

Climate change affects flowering times, which may lead to mismatches between bees and the availability of nectar and pollen.

StarStarStarStar

Bumblebees

StarStarStarStar

Higher temperatures are pushing populations northward and leading to declines in southern regions of their ranges.

StarStarStarStar

Ringed Seals

StarStarStarStar

Declining ice cover reduces their habitat for rearing pups, leading to decreased pup survival.

StarStarStarStar

Joshua Trees

StarStarStarStar

Increased temperature and decreased precipitation affect seedling survival, threatening these trees' long-term persistence.

StarStarStarStar

Florida Manatee

StarStarStarStar

Warming waters may impact manatee behavior and distribution, also intensified algal blooms can degrade their habitat.

StarStarStarStar

Clouded Leopards

StarStarStarStar

Deforestation driven by climate change exacerbates habitat loss, leading to decreased population sizes.

StarStarStarStar

Giant Pandas

StarStarStarStar

Warming may alter the distribution of bamboo forests, affecting food security for these specialized herbivores.

StarStarStarStar

Orangutans

StarStarStarStar

Climate-induced changes in fruiting patterns impact food availability, which in turn affects reproductive rates.

StarStarStarStar

Bengal Tigers

StarStarStarStar

Rising sea levels and increased cyclonic activity in the Sundarbans threaten these tigers' low-lying habitat.

StarStarStarStar

Great White Sharks

StarStarStarStar

Changes in sea temperature can shift their distribution and modify their migration patterns, affecting predator-prey dynamics.
