Princeton University research based in PEI is among the first to identify traits that make certain species more vulnerable than others to human impacts on the environment. The study found that the ability of a Himalayan bird species such as the rufous-capped babbler (above) to adapt to seasonal temperature changes may be one factor in whether it can withstand environmental changes such as deforestation.
