Research Conducted at University of Ottawa Has Updated Our Knowledge about Climate Change [The Timing of Reproduction Is Responding Plastically, Not Genetically, To Climate Change In Yellow-bellied Marmots (<i>marmota Flaviventer</i>)]

Summary

... came from National Science Foundation (NSF). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Ottawa , "Using a long-term dataset on a wild population of yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventer) at the Rocky Mountain... ... Biological Laboratory (RMBL), we investigated how the timing of reproduction changed with changing spring conditions over the past 50 years. Marmots are hibernators with a 4-month active season. It is thus crucial to reproduce early enoug
