However, increasing temperatures will make the gorillas more reliant on free-standing water, such as a streams, rivers, puddles, or swamps. Because mountain gorillas live at higher elevations, they are also more susceptible to faster temperature rises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstanding how animals obtain water is increasingly important in the face of climate change, as warmer temperatures and more extreme weather conditions are predicted to influence water availability, which could have implications for how they use their limited habitat,\u201d explained author Dr Edward Wright, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is particularly important in endangered species which are vulnerable to extinction, such as mountain gorillas.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Was the water temperature impacted by climatic conditions?<\/h3>\n<p>To investigate if the water drinking habits of mountain gorillas were impacted by changes in climatic conditions, the research team examined the water drinking behaviour between 2010 and 2020 in the two remaining populations of mountain gorillas of Bwindi and Virunga and correlated this to local maximum temperature and rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists discovered that both populations demonstrated an increase in water drinking at higher average temperatures than at cooler ones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMountain gorillas drink water more often as the temperatures increases. In these conditions, drinking water likely helps to maintain a healthy body temperature range,\u201d noted Wright.<\/p>\n<p>A greater reliance on free-standing water has several impacts on the survival of these endangered animals. A higher frequency in water drinking may lead to more parasite and human disease exposure. Moreover, because mountain gorillas are a small, isolated species with a limited habitat range, water availability is not always guaranteed in the home range of each group.<\/p>\n<p>Other research has shown that 22% of primate species are vulnerable to the impacts of droughts, while primate habitats are predicted to experience 10% more warming than the global average increase in temperature. By 2050, temperatures in the habitats of mountain gorillas are projected to increase by 1\u00b0C to 2.5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>While extensive conservation efforts have moved the mountain gorilla populations from \u2018critically endangered\u2019 to \u2018endangered\u2019 on the IUCN Red List, this study shows that the climate crisis may have new and unexpected negative consequences on the conservation and overall survival of the species.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur results suggest that mountain gorillas may have to work harder to maintain water balance in the future,\u201d concluded Wright.<\/p>\n<p>To keep up to date with our content,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/subscribe\/\">subscribe for updates<\/a>\u00a0on our digital publication and newsletter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study published in Frontiers in Conservation Science has revealed that endangered mountain gorillas\u2019 drinking frequency has increased as temperatures rise.
