Species in polar regions hard hit by climate change

Many species will become extinct as a consequence of global warming. This is the prediction of a mathematical model developed at LiU. The simulations show that climate change will have a particularly large impact on ecosystems in polar regions.

Habitat loss is bad news for species – especially for top predators

What happens in ecosystems when the habitats of different species disappear? When plants and animals lose their habitats, predator species at the top of the food chain die out first, according to a new study by scientists at Linköping University.
