Puffins are adapting to rapid Arctic warming with the interbreeding of two subspecies. Experts say its the first evidence of large-scale hybridization due to climate change. But significant genetic diversity loss puts puffins at risk.

A new hybrid subspecies of puffin is likely the result of climate change https://t.co/nlbh8eSkEE

Studying puffin populations, scientists uncovered the first evidence to connect a large-scale hybridization to 20th-century warming trends. But a serious decline in the birds' genetic diversity does not bode well for their future.

A hybrid Atlantic puffin population on the remote Norwegian island of Bjornoya seems to have emerged in a period coinciding with the onset of a faster pace of global warming, a recent report says.

We're losing genetic diversity across the Arctic communities as a result of #ClimateChange.

A new study found that #GlobalWarming has been merging sub-species of the Atlantic puffin in the 20th century by interbreeding scientists found on Bear Island 🇳🇴 https://t.co/e5SpDEgSNg

Coinciding with a century of climate change in the Arctic, a hybrid and less genetically diverse puffin colony has evolved in Norway within the last 100 years, a new @ScienceAdvances study finds. https://t.co/DNtVQIrZ5q

Ikke noe annet sted i verden har hatt så sterk oppvarming av klimaet som Svalbard og Bjørnøya. Nå har forskere oppdaget at en ny fugl har oppstått på Bjørnøya:

🤩 Super interesting case of hybridization in puffins #climatechange!

This finding was a surprise for us. We never thought we could pinpoint the start of puffin hybridization in the Arctic to such a recent point in time: https://t.co/W4JQ9KXjVW Check out the many contributers!

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Two distinct subspecies of Atlantic puffins are now interbreeding in Norway, possibly as a result of Arctic warming forcing some birds away from their usual habitat https://t.co/nkf22TQRg6

Die #Klimakrise gefährdet #Papageitaucher in der #Arktis. Weil das Eis schmilzt, geraten Artengrenzen aus dem Gleichgewicht. Das führt zu einer Verarmung der genetischen Vielfalt. Wissenschaftlerïnnen sind besorgt. @ThomasKrumenac1 #ornithologie https://t.co/Uj51XdGjmR
