Latest research: Bird spawning time may be related to the health of surrounding trees

com, Beijing, September 28 (Reporter Sun Zifa) Springer Nature's professional academic journal "Nature-Climate Change" recently published an ecological research paper "The correlation between tree health and bird spawning time" It is pointed out that the detailed records of the changes in the laying time of the great tits caused by climate change can reflect the significant differences in the small-scale spatial scales within the population, and this change may be related to the health of nearby oak trees
.

According to the paper, climate change will cause the temperature to rise and spring to arrive earlier, forcing animal and plant populations to change the timing of life events (such as reproduction) so as not to miss the most suitable conditions
.

The corresponding author of the paper, the University of Oxford, Charlotte Regan (Charlotte Regan), and colleagues used the reproduction data of more than 13,000 great tits.
These data came from a 60-year study on a 385-hectare forest in Oxfordshire, England (1961- 2020)
.

The author of the paper believes that this research can help the academic community understand the ability of organisms to survive climate change from a smaller level, and follow-up research is also necessary to evaluate the response of organisms to climate change with the background of complex local selectivity factors.
