Climate change is bad news for many species. Environments are changing more rapidly than plants and animals can adapt to—or move out of—them. Octopuses, however, reproduce so quickly (and multitudinously) and have such short generation times, they are generally well primed to adapt and move. The common Sydney octopus (Octopus tetricus), for one, is expanding its range poleward as the surrounding oceans warm. But could a shift south actually eventually limit this octopus's ability to adapt in the future? A team of Australian-based researchers investigates this question in a new paper, published this August in PLoS ONE. Read the rest of this story in Scientific American.
