Uniform weather conditions across the Åland Islands are posing a significant threat to the survival of the Glanville fritillary butterfly, according to new research from the University of Helsinki. The study reveals that the lack of varied microclimates, traditionally vital for the species’ resilience, is destabilizing local populations and increasing their vulnerability to environmental changes. Scientists warn that this emerging pattern, driven by shifting climate dynamics, could have profound implications for conservation efforts in the region.
Uniform Weather Patterns Jeopardize Glanville Fritillary Survival in Ã…land Islands
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have identified a troubling shift in the local climate of the Ã…land Islands that could undermine the fragile existence of the Glanville fritillary butterfly. Traditionally, the region’s microclimates provided a mosaic of varying conditions, allowing populations of this species to thrive despite…
