Hormonal Flexibility: Endocrine Responses to Climate Change
Words: 449 1950In the face of accelerating climate change, organisms must adapt or perish. While much attention is given to visible manifestations of adaptation, such as changes in physical traits or behavior, the role of internal regulatory systems, particularly the endocrine system, is often overlooked. Yet, hormones play a pivotal role in coordinating physiological responses to environmental shifts. Understanding how the endocrine system adapts to climate change is crucial for predicting and mitigating its impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. One of […]
