[ad_1] WASHINGTON: Cascading effects in five areas of welfare, including nutrition, environment, behaviour, physical health, and mental health, will result from the effects of climate change on animals, according to a recent study. The study was published in CABI Reviews. The study emphasises the need for researchers to carefully consider which areas are of immediate and long-term importance in order to protect the welfare and longevity of animals used for food production, as domestic pets, and for conservation in zoos and nature reserves. Bats, zebrafish, stony creek frogs, koalas, African elephants, chickens, and dairy cows are among the animals at risk from the effects of climate change that are mentioned in the review. Although there are variations in how different animals react biologically to stress, it is argued in the review that the five domains model offers a reliable tool for research use and to assess the immediate effects of climatic variability on animals.
