Summary:
- This article examines the potential impact of climate change on the future distribution and abundance of humpback whales in the Southern Hemisphere.
- The researchers used a combination of species distribution modeling and climate projections to predict how humpback whale populations might shift in response to changes in ocean temperature, sea ice, and other environmental factors.
- The findings suggest that humpback whales may face significant habitat loss and population declines in certain regions, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.
