Am Mittwoch, den 11 Oktober, veranstalten die Zoologische Abteilung der Universität Tartu und Marko Mägi, Redakteur der Vogelbeobachter-Wissenschaftsforschung im Institut für Zoologie der Universität Tartu ein Seminar über die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels.
Das Seminar beginnt um 16 Uhr in der Vanemuise 46, Raum 301, und wird in Englisch gehalten. Jeder ist willkommen.
Bericht zur Präsentation:
What Trump does not know: The impact of climate change on birds
Rapid climate change forces all living organisms to run for survival. There are papers describing population declines caused by global warming or unexceptionally harsh and long-lasting weather conditions. The effect of global warming may be location specific, therefore different populations of the same species may be response differently. To date we know that some bird species have changed migration behaviour due to changed climate condition, but some have not. Changes in migration behaviour have carry-over effect on population sustainability, mainly because of phenological shifts. The presentation gives an overview how such mismatches affect birds on broader (e.g. in Europe) and local scale (e.g. in Estonia).
