Will they also attempt to move to new areas in order to survive?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For some species this will not be possible, some species will run out of space, such as alpine species which will have to move upward but can only go so far until there is no more &#8216;up&#8217;,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>Co-author Dr. Nic Rawlence, Director of Otago&#8217;s Palaeogenetics Laboratory, says the research is a rare example of the impacts of past climate change on extinct megafauna from New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>It also demonstrates how fossil remains and museum collections can be used to answer new questions about the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is really bringing the power of palaeogenomics to New Zealand research questions, whereas previously most research and interest has focused on Eurasian or American species. We are really starting to build capacity for this research in New Zealand,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Blue-eyed shags survived Ice Age in New Zealand\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Genetic evidence for post-glacial expansion from a southern refugium in the eastern moa (Emeus crassus), <i>Biology Letters<\/i> (2022).  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-doi=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1098\/rsbl.2022.0013\">DOI: 10.1098\/rsbl.2022.0013<\/a>. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/royalsocietypublishing.org\/doi\/10.1098\/rsbl.2022.0013\">royalsocietypublishing.org\/doi \u2026 .1098\/rsbl.2022.0013<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of Otago<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.otago.ac.nz\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/phys.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 DNA provides unique look at moa and climate change (2022, May 10)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 11 May 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-05-dna-unique-moa-climate.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
