Sentence examples for tracking of climate from inspiring English sources
Our study also provides tentative evidence of differential tracking of climate change, with phenological shifts apparent in some clades but not others.
"The very first step to know you're on the right track of climate change action is: leave your house.
Conservation biologist Wendy Foden of the International Union for Conservation of Nature in Cambridge, U.K., calls the findings "hopeful" because they show that creatures, on average, are "keeping track of climate change themselves" and are able to adapt.
Evolution can thus only allow individuals to keep track of climate change until a critical climate change rate.
Holm says this is just the start; she wants the data to help predict the future by allowing us to map outbreaks of disease or track the course of climate change.
These findings raise questions about the significance of phenological adaptation to past climate change, since the extent to which differential tracking of past climate has shaped a whole flora is at present unknown.
Differential tracking of contemporary climate change has been shown to be a determinant of the species composition of a community, since populations of species lacking a plastic or microevolutionary response are locally extirpated [ 68, 69].

Therefore, the observed genetic shifts may represent continued adaptation of invasive populations to local climate conditions rather than tracking of ongoing contemporary climate warming (Urbanski et al. 2012).
