UMEA, Sweden, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Climate change predicted to 2080 may benefit some mammals in Europe's northernmost land areas if they can reach new climatic ranges, scientists say.
Researchers at Sweden's Umea University said computer modeling of species distribution suggests those climate changes will benefit most mammals that live in Arctic and sub-Arctic land areas if they can successfully negotiate a move into areas that are newly suitable based on the modified climate.
