Migration
The biology of ecosystems - animals, insects and plants species - have adapted over time to capitalize on the climate and availability of nutrients (food!), shelter and space. For example, the Guillemont birds off the north coast of Chukotka, lay eggs at time when the sea ice supports a healthy population of fish. If these eggs were to hatch earlier or later, the adult guillemonts will not be able to catch enough prey to feed their growing young.
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that scientists are observing a wide range of changes in the migration patterns of birds, fish, animals and plants in response to the changing climate. The most significant increase in temperature readings are seen in the polar regions, and animals - in particular the many birds - migrating to the Arctic region from around the globe every year are being greatly affected by climate change.

A report produced jointly by American Bird Conservancy and National Wildlife Federation gives in-depth analysis of how climate change is and may in the future affect populations of bird species.
