Climate Change Biology, Third Edition, delves into the profound implications of climate change on the world, particularly its profound impact on biology. Presented in three comprehensive parts, it explores in great detail the physical evidence of climate change and the intricate modeling efforts undertaken to predict its future trajectory. The book then delves into the intricate realm of biological responses, encompassing individual physiology, population dynamics, ecosystem adaptations, and the fascinating process of evolution. The final section examines the specific and far-reaching consequences of climate change on natural resources, particularly in relation to human livelihoods. This invaluable resource will serve as a valuable asset to the increasing number of undergraduate and graduate courses dedicated to climate change. Each section has been meticulously updated, drawing upon over 5,000 research papers that have emerged since the publication of the second edition. Special attention has been given to strengthening sections on the combined effects of ocean acidification and climate change, with over six new case studies and end-of-chapter questions in each chapter. By examining the multifaceted impacts of climate change on biology, this Third Edition provides a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our planet in the era of global change.
