But our
study shows that we also have to include the active biological processes, such as
animal migrations, to predict and calculate the ocean's ability to absorb anthropogenic emissions of CO2,» says Professor Katherine Richardson of the University of Copenhagen, who is also one of the authors behind the
study.
Studies on
animals with mating or
migration patterns that revolve around lunar cycles could also illuminate the underlying biological drivers as well as the evolutionary benefit of having a moon - synced clock.
Until now, most
studies of
animal migration have focused on large, easy - to -
study birds and mammals.
Many
migration studies are done in short - lived species like songbirds, or by comparing a young bird to an older bird, said UMD biologist Thomas Mueller, an expert on
animal migration and the
study's lead scientist.
Other
studies have gauged how climate changes will affect
migration, flowering, and other factors that could put plants and
animals out of step with the world around them.
While biologists have tracked how global warming has altered the developmental,
migration, timing and other behavior in plants and
animals, what makes this
study unusual is the physical changes in the bees, said
study co-author Candace Galen at the University of Missouri.
VEMCO fish tracking and monitoring equipment enables researchers to
study the behaviour and
migration patterns of thousands of marine and freshwater
animals over months and years and across vast distances.
The
animals were fitted with scientific satellite tracking devices so their
migration, behavior and progress can be tracked to current locations and
studied.
