A changing climate has strong implications for biodiversity. Studies of fossil and pollen distribution show that species are very sensitive to climate changes. When the climate changes, species often die out in their present areas and colonize new areas. Therefore, as the climate changes in the future, there will be disruption of natural communities and extinction of populations and species.
Based on the information above, which of these would most likely be affected by a global warming?

Answer:

On a cold and bitter winter night, in a field of boulders beneath a thick layer of snow, a mountain pygmy possum sleeps safe and snug. Strange though it may seem, it is the snow that’s keeping the possum warm; fluffed up by countless pockets of air, the uncompacted snow insulates the ground and prevents the warmth from escaping into the night. Under this white blanket, the mountain pygmy possum can hibernate the winter away.

The pygmy possum might be snug, but those of us concerned for its future can’t afford to be complacent. This is just one example of an Australian species that stands to lose its habitat in the face of climate change. The biodiversity that underpins Australia’s unique ecosystems is under threat from increasing land and ocean temperatures and changing weather patterns.
