Ⅱ阅读理解
Many animals have adaptations that help them cope with
specific environments or lifestyles. These special
adaptations are written in the genome(基因组) and passed down
from generation to generation. This information can help
scientists project into the future as well. Reading an
animal’s genes can help us predict whether an organism(有机体) might adapt to rapid
changes in their environment, like those brought on by climate change, so as to match conservation efforts for at­risk species.
A group of biologists are associated with the Bird Genoscape Project that is concerned with the effects of a changing climate. They investigated this question by using yellow warblers(黄莺) and found that some genes looked different in birds from rainy regions when pared with the same genes in birds living in dry zones. These birds have ideally adapted to their local climates.
But if birds have adapted to their current climate, what will happen in the ing years as the climate changes?
Many regions of the US are predicted to get warmer and drier over the next century. Because the biologists had an idea of which genetic changes are ideal for each climate, they could calculate how much the genome sequences of yellow warbler populations would have to change over the next 50 years to match the genetic conditions of yellow warblers in future conditions. Yellow warblers in some regions, like the Rocky Mountains, showed very high levels of genomic vulnerability(脆弱性), suggesting they would need many changes in their genomes to keep up with climate change. Meanwhile, yellow warblers from other regions, like the Midwest, had low genomic vulnerability and were less at risk.
When we pared genomic vulnerability to changes in yellow warbler populations over the past 50 years, in areas like parts of California and the Rocky Mountains, which had the highest genomic vulnerability, yellow warbler populations have already declined. This could mean that climate change has already affected these populations, and those effects are likely to bee even more severe over the next century.
