Climate Change is Forcing Amphibians to Change Their Diet – But They Can Only Adapt so Far

New research involving Queen Mary University of London reveals that amphibians can change what they eat to cope with rising temperatures, but that this natural survival strategy has limits. New research involving Queen Mary University of London reveals that amphibians can change what they eat to cope with rising temperatures, but that this natural survival strategy has limits. However, researchers discovered that these dietary adjustments become progressively less effective as temperatures continue to rise. The findings provide the first experimental evidence in a vertebrate species that the ability to compensate for climate change through diet is constrained by physiological limit.
