Question

Will the distribution level of species be affected by gradual increase in temperature? Say briefly.

Answer 1

Answer:

Climate models project that rising temperatures over time can lead to an increase in dry, desert-like conditions, which will affect not only the survivorship of particular species, but also the natural resources they have adapted to use in their natural environment.

Answer 2

Distribution of species

Explanation:

Temperature is an important factor which influences the distribution of species

• Temperature is a factor that influences species distribution because organisms must either maintain a specific internal temperature or inhabit an environment that will keep the body within a temperature range that supports their metabolism
• Many species have developed adaptations, such as migration, hibernation, and aestivation, to deal with temperature fluctuations in the environments in which they live
• It exerts an important influence on living organisms because few can survive at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) due to metabolic constraints,it is also rare for them to survive at temperatures exceeding 45 °C (113 °F)
• Temperature can limit the distribution of living things
• Rising temperatures over time can lead to an increase in dry, desert-like conditions, which will affect not only the survivorship of particular species, but also the natural resources they have adapted to use in their natural environment
• Migration, the movement from one place to another, is common in animals, including many that inhabit seasonally-cold climates
• Migration solves problems related to temperature, locating food, and finding a mate
• Amphibians and reptiles are more limited in their distribution because they lack migratory ability,Not all animals that can migrate do so as migration carries risk and comes at a high energy cost
• Some animals hibernate or aestivate to survive hostile temperatures
• Hibernation enables animals to survive cold conditions, while aestivation allows animals to survive the hostile conditions of a hot, dry climate
