    Phenology: The Study of Bug Beetles

    Uploaded by

    Eduardo Dávila
    This document discusses how changes in climate can affect the growth and survival of plants and animals. It explains that rising temperatures and shifts in rainfall patterns can speed up or slow down growth and life cycles. Some plants and animals may die if it becomes too warm and they lack food or water, or if it becomes too cold. The document also describes several methods scientists use to study past climate conditions, including analyzing pollen, beetle exoskeletons, tree rings, ice cores, and temperature records. This historical climate data helps us understand how species have adapted to climate change over time.

    Phenology

    Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and changes in seasonal


    cycles can affect plants and animals by slowing or increasing their growth,
    lifetime. When the climate changes the animals and plants life change, if its
    too warm some plants and animals will die because of the lake of food and
    water, if its cold Animals will die from cold or because cant find food or
    because its dead. Depending on the species of plants they will grow faster
    in cold or in warm weather. For animals is somehow the same. If its too
    warm some animals wont be able to get the water needed, if its too cold
    other animals wont be able to get the food needed. So animals have
    adapted to this climates. Phenology can affect in many different ways
    animals and plants, we can control energy by preventing global warming.
    To make Climate stay the same, making animals and plants keep their
    adaptation techniques and survive and keep on growing. we need to work
    together because we didnt create phenology but we can manipulate it to
    are advantages, to help the animals and the plants live there live as
    normal.
    Evaluation of Pollen

    Pollen can be preserved for long time


    Each type of plant have there own distinctive type of pollen,
    which makes easier to categorise.
    They can help the scientists to determine climate conditions
    in the past

    The Study of Bug Beetles

    The exoskeletons of beetles give a precise measure of climate


    change; this is because it tells you how they have adapted to
    climate change.

    Tree- Ring Analysis (Dendrochronology)

    Every year trees produce a ring, or a new layer of xylem by


    the division of cells
    The seasons changes the diameter of the xylem
    By seeing how wide the rings are, how close to each other and
    the years of life of that tree, you can analyse the climate
    change.

    Ice Thickness Measurements

    As water freezes air bubbles are trapped and the ice keeps
    growing
    By analyse the air temperature from the bubbles you can see
    how climate has changed

    Temperature records:

    It has very old data, but that is the most important one
    because that way you can compare that climate with the onw
    that we have today
    Temperature changes have been record for almost every
    country in the world
