Summary Introduction
To explain:
How past species shifts can help researchers predict future species survival under global climate change.
Concept introduction:
Climate is defined as the average weather over a long period of time. It is variable as it changes from place to place. Climate conditions are effected by temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind and precipitation.
