Sea slugs making a home in the UK due to climate change are among the species spotted around the country’s coasts in 2024, The Wildlife Trusts said. Sea monitoring by volunteers and ...
Climate change is likely to favour some invasive species and harm others, [3] but few authors have identified specific consequences of climate change for invasive species. [ 4 ] As early as 1993, a climate/invasive species interaction was speculated for the alien tree species Maesopsis eminii that spread in the East Usambara mountain forests ...
