新西兰的本地石蝇因森林砍伐而变色，模仿有毒物种进行保护。 New Zealand's native stoneflies change color due to deforestation, mimicking toxic species for protection.
奥塔戈大学的一项研究表明,由于人为的毁林,新西兰本地的石蝇已经改变颜色。 A study from the University of Otago reveals that New Zealand's native stoneflies have changed color due to human-induced deforestation. 无毒性的Zelandoperla石蝇演变成模仿有毒Austroperla的警示颜色,以威慑捕食者,但随着砍伐森林消除了捕食者,Zelandoperla相应调整了它的颜色。 The non-toxic Zelandoperla stonefly evolved to mimic the warning colors of the toxic Austroperla to deter predators, but as deforestation eliminated the latter, Zelandoperla adapted its coloration accordingly. 这一研究突出了人类行动如何能影响动物的演变,并揭示了未来生物多样性变化的真知灼见。 This research highlights how human actions can influence animal evolution and offers insights into future biodiversity shifts.
