Extreme Climate Events Create Synchronized Population Fluctuations
2013-01-18 13:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

A new study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has found that extreme climate events cause a synchronized population fluctuation among all vertebrate species in a relatively simple high arctic community. The findings, published in a recent...
