2. Weather warning: Sea birds like albatrosses are sensitive to changes in ocean temperatures. In one recent study, a well-studied population was shown to suffer from the increasing temperature variations but to benefit from recent warming bringing it closer to its temperature optimum.

3. Survival skills: A study of two closely related wren species sharing the same habitat demonstrates that the sensitivity to extreme climate events is highly specific to each species. The photo shows the white-browed scrubwren (Sericornis frontalis). (Photo: patrickkavanagh/flickr (CC BY 2.0).)

4. Colour coded: The survival and reproduction success of the red-winged fairy wren (Malurus elegans) after extreme climate events differs characteristically from the closely related white-browed scrubwren. (Photo: Pete Richman/flickr (CC BY 2.0).)
