Document Summary
With temperature going up, variance will increase (ex. Ecological response is that organisms will migrate to areas where there beter adapted to. Ecological answer to what will happen when climate changes is that things will migrate. With evoluion, either adapt to changing environmental condiions or will go exinct. People are collecing long term data sets and looking at things such as lowering and emergence ime. Organisms could be adaping due to phenotypic plasicity as opposed to direcional selecion. In very diverse species, people are collecing long term data sets and looking at parameters such as emergence ime, and lowering. With birds, see that laying date is changing, shows direcional selecion. This graph could be phenotypic plasicity, not necessarily direcional selecion (what is mechanism causing these lines?) the lines are consistent with direcional selecion, but can"t say its necessarily due to this.
