Categories of Climate Change and Impact on Bird Behavior

Abstract

Birds are extremely vulnerable to even tiny changes in temperature, moisture and climate. The possible effects climate change, like temperature or precipitation, can have on their survival has gradually increased over time. This study looks at these effects, particularly on their behavior changes, which is categorized into either migration or reproduction. Furthermore, birds have managed to micro-evolve in order to avoid ecological mismatches that can lower their possibility of survival and reproduction. This study then discusses birds’ behavioral microevolution as an alternative solution to the changes brought about by climate change. Overall, climate change influence both resident and migratory birds to a large extent. Although they are able to utilize microevolution, this effort might not be enough to cover for potential drawbacks.
