Although great tits may have the genetic potential to adjust to conditions that come with warmer temperatures, they haven't made that adjustment yet, notes Daniel Nussey of the University of Cambridge in England. For example, they identified late-caterpillar areas for some years by seeing where European birds called great tits had raised second clutches of eggs. Now, two unusually long studies of the birds called great tits (Parus major) reveal more-subtle effects of immigration, creating differences in populations living only a few kilometers apart. |
