Global warming: marine biodiversity more adaptive than terrestrial species

Global warming is pushing many animal and plant species to migrate to more favorable environments. According to a study conducted by the EDB laboratory (UMR CNRS/UPS/IRD) and SETE (UPR CNRS), researchers have found that marine species adapt more quickly than their terrestrial counterparts. The two research units, components of the TULIP LabEx, published their results in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution in May.
