'Flirting' due to weather changes

Climate change may be the cause of betrayal of partners, at least in the case of birds.

>>>Birds fly faster due to climate change

The climate changes abnormally have pushed the birds into the situation to fall asleep reluctantly. New research results from North Carolina State University (USA) show that betrayal in feathers is probably due to their efforts to find ways to collect many genes for the next generation in the uncertain future. If the climate situation changes as some models predict, birds may have to manage to survive by adultery with many different partners.

Birds change their mating behavior because of climate impacts

Many birds practice monogamy, which means they couple and live together for at least one mating season and many couples return in the following season from year to year. When the young bird is born, the parents work together to take care of the common child until they leave the nest. However, new studies show that the most seemingly faithful birds tend to change their hearts. When experts perform genetic testing in young birds, they find that many of them are actually descendants of other male birds and not birds of the bird playing the current fathers role. Birds also have 'divorce' , according to research results for many years. In the case of everyone's street, the subjects were successful in one year, but the next year chose another partner.

To determine what makes famous birds faithful to the path of the deceitful and wandering indefinitely, expert Carlos Botero of biological evolution (North Carolina State University) and his colleague Dustin Rubenstein Collecting more than 400 studies on betrayal and divorce in more than 200 bird species around the world. They put all the information into a large database and began searching for the common denominator.When the weather becomes very changeable and unpredictable, birds are more likely to find new objects , according to a report on PLoS ONE . This strategy also has its logic, as Botero explained. Large and heavy beaks easily penetrate thick-skinned seeds, a feature that allows them to survive in dry areas. But such a large mine makes it difficult to move, especially in places with heavy rain. If the weather continues to be unpredictable, when the sun is heavy, when it rains, the female will choose the most ideal strategy. They will mate with many different males to collect the best genes for their children. The male also behaved the same way.

The finding shows the hard-to-see effect of climate change on animal behavior, according to school bird researcher Mike Webster of Cornell University (USA). Instead of referring to obvious signs such as changes in melting rainfall, glaciers . Botero's research highlights the importance of identifying more complex phenomena that occur under the influence of love. global warming. Interestingly, Botero experts say his research can also be used to explain why people sometimes get lost. It is possible that climate change will not only have a minor impact on current human life such as storms and flu, but also its indirect influence on the stock market or other economic indicators can also create an impact.
