A new analysis of data from a long-term study finds that warmer winters driven by climate change reduced the number of offspring raised annually by the federally threatened Florida scrub-jay by 25% since 1981.
Because of warmer winters, Florida scrub-jays are now nesting one week earlier than they did in 1981. But these early birds are not always getting the worm., finds that warmer winters driven by climate change reduced the number of offspring raised annually by the federally threatened Florida scrub-jay by 25% since 1981.
"There is significantly more snake activity in warmer weather," said Sahas Barve, lead author and director of avian ecology at Archbold,"and snakes are the primary nest predator." "The idea that over the long-term jays are experiencing an average reduction in reproductive success along with reduction in longevity is alarming," Fitzpatrick said.
