Cold adaptation does not handicap warm tolerance in the most abundant Arctic seabird
International audience Arctic birds and mammals are physiologically adapted to survive in cold environments but live in the fastest warming region on the planet. They should therefore be most threatened by climate change. We fitted a phylogenetic model of upper critical temperature ( T UC ) in 255 b...

International audience Arctic birds and mammals are physiologically adapted to survive in cold environments but live in the fastest warming region on the planet.
