Climate Change Biology, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that examines how human-induced climate change affects biological systems across the globe. The text addresses the fundamental science of planetary warming and explores how altered climatic conditions influence living systems at multiple scales.
Presented in three parts, the volume examines physical evidence of climate change alongside predictive modeling efforts. It investigates biological responses ranging from organismal physiology and evolution to population dynamics and ecosystem alterations, while evaluating the impacts of climate shifts on natural resources and human livelihoods.
Designed for students and conservation practitioners, the book incorporates full-color illustrations derived from original scientific research to support the study of extinction risks and conservation solutions.
