The Impacts of Climate Change on Genetic Diversity

Abstract

In this research, the destruction caused by climate change on genetic diversity has been demonstrated with solid examples. The consequences of the destruction on the genetic levels are discussed with concrete examples. In the study, the data obtained from the results of 40 printed publications were evaluated by correlation analysis. With these data, the importance of genetic diversity, the effect of climate change on genetic diversity, the models used to determine the relationship between climate and genetic diversity, genetic losses and protection measures were evaluated. It is noteworthy that embedded methods, in which ecological models are integrated into climate models, have been used in determining the relationships between climate and genetic diversity, especially in recent years. It is firstly necessary to detect genetic losses, genetic shifts and variations, and to reveal their future projections. These projections play a decisive role in taking effective protection measures against climate change.
