How Warming Temperatures Affect Breeding Behavior in Graylag Geese

You might have heard that dedication and perseverance are important elements for success. This is particularly true science, specifically the study of animal behavior. Collecting biological data decades can help scientists to better understand slow environmental changes their consequences. For instance, globally increasing temperatures may affect behavior reproduction. We investigated if how changes, such as a long-term increase in temperature milder winters, reproduction population graylag geese. To do that, we collected 29 years—by monitoring temperature, number eggs laid, young birds survive adulthood. found over time (an effect climate change), higher average had positive on reproductive success suggests flock geese studied could profit from warming temperatures, perhaps because window favorable laying raising prolonged when winters milder.
