Moose calves dying from heat stress (Swedish article)

[-]

CollapseBy2022@reddit (OP)

Collapse related because we're pushing fauna outside of their climate comfort zones. The article states that the calves are dying since they need to spend more energy keeping their body temperature down - energy that could be spent on the immune system, or putting on fat to survive the winter.

I expect many similar things are happening across the globe, silently.

That won't happen again if their offspring can't survive!

It also won’t happen again if human offspring can‘t survive.

Do we have an rough estimate of temperature range to body weight of species specific survival?

This one seems to check on Europe: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2023.0334

I can't access it, but there's an accessible supplementary document with some clues: https://figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Future_changes_in_society_and_climate_may_strongly_shape_wild_large-herbivore_faunas_across_Europe_-Supplementary_material/25283226?backTo=%2Fcollections%2F%2F7090113&file=44669166
