In response to rising temperatures, many species of plants and animals are
migrating to higher altitudes and latitudes, according to a new study by
the Department of Biology at the University of York.
.
Along with migration, researchers have also identified a new phenomenon
called reshuffling as shifting species comes in contact with other species
in a new pattern. The consequences for the health of ecosystems are
unknown.
.
The study reveals that species have moved towards the poles where the
conditions are cooler at almost three times the normal rate and also
towards higher altitudes at twice the previous known rate.
.
An analysis of more than 200 different species of animals and plants by
the research team has shown a specific trend of movement. On an average,
species have shifted to higher elevations at 12.2 meters per decade and,
more dramatically, to higher latitudes at 17.6 kilometers per decade.
.
"These changes are equivalent to animals and plants shifting away from the
equator at around 20 cm per hour, for every hour of the day, for every day
of the year. This has been going on for the last 40 years and is set to
continue for at least the rest of this century," stated project leader
Chris Thomas, professor of conservation biology at York.
