The mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance of University of Queensland wildlife research released today. The UQ research throws light on how various species have responded to major climate events.
A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dir. Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying(量化) the responses of various species.
“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones (旋風(fēng))捌归,droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts搓幌,” Dir. Maxwell said. “Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”
