New research from the University of Sydney has provided the first associative link between heat stress and koala mortality. Published in Biology Letters, the results highlight how even moderate temperature rises can increase hospital admission and mortality risk in koalas. They underscore the need to identify and mitigate heat-related threats to wildlife as the climate continues to warm.
