Evolution As a result of our influence, key aspects of  animal behavior are changing, including where they live, where they breed, what they eat, whom they fight and whom they help. We are remodeling more than just the environments species live in. We’re altering the species themselves as they evolve in  response to our impact on their surroundings. … we are creating mismatches between animals and the settings in which they evolved. Creatures once well equipped to meet the challenges of their environment suddenly face a world in which their fine-tuned behavioral adaptations are no longer adaptive at all.  Lee Alan Dugatkin, Scientific American, June 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
