Scientists scripting supercharged scenarios caution that the difference between seasonal coping and long-term adaption is vast – and tricky to predict. Michigan State University biologists are studying damselflies to understand how other species will respond to a warmer world. Their findings were recently published in the <em>Proceedings of the Royal Society B</em>.</p></description><author>Sue Nichols</author><hero-image><img src="/_assets/images/news/2023/2023-04-mixing-theory-observation-to-envision-warmer-world.banner.pond.jpg" alt="A photo of Pond 9 at Lux Arbor Reserve, Delton, Mich.
