Barry Sinervo from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California in Santa Cruz, along with colleagues from across the globe, reached that con

22、ickly can Earths lizards adapt to the rising global temperatures? Thats the important question,” Sinervo said in a press release. “We are actually seeing lowland species moving upward, slowly driving upland species out of their habitats. If the upland species cant evolve fast enough, they will die o
