As global temperatures rise, unique ecosystems within tropical rainforests need to adapt to the changes. A new study looked at several species’ activity at each hour at each location on the landscape and projected how the spatio-temporal habits might change in a warmer environment. Results predicted a negligible effect on large animals; but smaller animals, in virtue of a smaller body surface area to allow them to cool down, may be facing a steeper adaptation curve for their so-called “thermal safety zone,’ or the temperatures they find acceptable.<\/p>\n
