PLOS One 的一项研究预测，北美城市野生动物物种将因气候变化而发生变化，渥太华和埃德蒙顿等城市适合数百种新物种的生存。 A study in PLOS One predicts North American urban wildlife species shifts due to climate change, with cities like Ottawa and Edmonton hospitable to hundreds of new species.
一项新的研究预测，由于气候变化，北美城市野生动物物种将发生重大变化。 A new study predicts significant shifts in urban wildlife species across North America due to climate change. 这项研究发表在《PLOS One》杂志上，使用来自 60 个城市的数据集和八种不同的气候模型来估计每种动物在当前环境中的常见程度及其分布范围。 The study, published in the journal PLOS One, used data sets from 60 cities and eight different climate models to estimate how common each animal is in its current environment and how widely it's distributed. 结果表明，到本世纪末，渥太华和埃德蒙顿等城市可能会成为数百种新物种的栖息地，同时也会失去数十种新物种的栖息地。 The results suggest that by the end of the century, cities like Ottawa and Edmonton could become hospitable for hundreds of new species while losing habitat for a couple dozen. 该研究还表明，昆虫最有可能从这些变化中受益。 The study also indicates that insects are most likely to benefit from these changes.
