Can this bird adapt to a warmer climate? Read the genes to find out

Rachael Bay, UCLA postdoctoral fellow, discussed her work reading the DNA of yellow warblers wth the Bird Genoscape Project. They found that precipitation was the most strongly correlated with genetic variation and that climate change may have already affected specific populations.
