- A new analysis suggests that extreme weather linked to climate change might be much harder on native species than on nonnative ones.
- Non-native species tend to fare better than Native species under extreme weather events such as heat waves, cold spells, droughts, and floods.
- They can rapidly establish populations in new environments and thrive when native species are adversely affected.
- Native terrestrial animals were particularly vulnerable to heatwaves, cold spells, and droughts.
- Native freshwater animals proved susceptible to most extreme events, except cold spells.
- But the non-native terrestrial animals were primarily affected by heatwaves, and non-native freshwater animals mainly suffered from storms.
