New on PLOS Ecology: Behavioral Flexibility and Climate Change

A new study has identified the circumstances in which some animals change their behaviors in response to climate change. Behavioral flexibility allows animals to rapidly cope with changing environmental conditions. Behavior can also serve as an early indicator of environmental changes, as changes in behavior can be evident before detectable shifts in range or population.Read the whole post on the PLOS Ecology Blog: Behavioral Flexibility May Help Some Animals Deal with a Changing Climate.
