Out of the many factors causing influence to the behavior of the animal, climate is one. With the profound change in the climate in the recent years, there is also a change in the behavioral pattern expressed by the animals. One of the major changes seen is the breeding behavior of the animals. The breeders which are season specific has shown an abrupt change shifting from a season to the other or earlier to the season expected. Further there is an evolution of parasites and disease with the warming of the earth and the disease that were confined to a locality are wide spread.  Studies are yet to be made to make a confirmation on what level are the animals effected by the changing climate and what measure can be taken to check the problem but it has become sure that there is an impact of climate change in Animal Behavior. |
