Climate change is affecting mortality of weasels due to camouflage mismatch.

Scientific reports - 24 May 2018

Atmeh Kamal, Andruszkiewicz Anna, Zub Karol

Abstract excerpt

Direct phenological mismatch caused by climate change can occur in mammals that moult seasonally. Two colour morphs of the weasel Mustela nivalis (M. n.) occur sympatrically in Białowieża Forest (NE Poland) and differ in their winter pelage colour: white in M. n. nivalis and brown in M. n. vulgaris. Due to their small body size, weasels are vulnerable to attacks by a range of different predators; thus cryptic...
