Question

Over the next century, how do you think the effects of global climate change will compare for species adapted to extreme heat (tropical and hot desert species) versus those adapted to extreme cold (polar species)?

Tropical/hot desert species will be impacted more than polar species because they disperse more slowly.

Polar species will be impacted more than tropical/hot desert species because disease will become more prevalent in cold regions

Both tropical/hot desert and polar species will be impacted, but polar species are more likely to go extinct because they cannot migrate any further poleward.

Tropical/hot desert species will experience fewer effects due to global climate change than polar species, because they are already adapted to a warm climate.

Explanation / Answer

Both tropical HOT desert and polar species will be impacted, but polar species are more likely to go extinct because they cannot migrate any further poleward.
