The great tit and other birds can adapt to changes in their food supply as a result of climate change, but they run into trouble if the changes happen too quickly.

“If changes happen too fast, species can become extinct,” says Emily Simmonds, an associate professor at NTNU’s Department of Biology.
She is the first author of an article in Ecology Letters that addresses how great tits can be affected if the supply of larvae changes in the spring.
