- Abstract:
  The article discusses the effects of climate change on plants and animals, focusing on research performed to determine how well some organisms can adapt to changing temperatures. Other topics include climatic factors effecting evolution, the effects of behavioral flexibility in animals on their ability to adapt/evolve, and ways scientists are trying to improve the chances of survival amongst organisms that don't adapt quickly, such as assisted migrations.
