Research shows many species share similar heat limits, risking sudden collapses in ecosystems as temperatures rise.

New research indicates that many species share similar heat tolerances, risking sudden ecosystem collapses as temperatures rise. This pattern, observed across various organisms from tropical regions, suggests species may vanish simultaneously rather than gradually, leading to abrupt biodiversity loss. Understanding these thermal limits could help develop strategies to protect ecosystems from climate change.
