14 Surprising Connections Between Sloths and Climate Change: A Must-Read for Environmentalists

6. Reproductive Timing Shifts

The effects of climate change on sloth reproduction patterns expose alarming patterns of species adaptability capacity. Significant changes in sloth breeding seasons have been recorded by researchers, who have linked these variations to changed rainfall and temperature. Population sustainability and ecosystem balance are among the broad effects of these variations in reproductive time. The thorough investigation of these changes offers important new insights on how tropical environment population dynamics and reproductive success of animals are affected by climate change.
