New results published in "Nature Climate Change" now shows that both birds and butterflies follow the northward shift in temperature, but unforunately not at the same speed as the climate. To make it even more complex, the authors, which include Åke Lindström from CAnMove/BECC, also shows that butterflies adapt faster than birds to the climate change which in turn may cause a lack of food supply for birds in the future.
