Behavioral responses to annual temperature variation alter the dominant energy pathway, growth, and condition of a cold-water predator
Canadian scientists at IISD Experimental Lakes Area have discovered that certain lake predators are altering their behaviour due to climate change, revealing what the future may hold for these fish and their food.
