Which of the following describes the effect of global climate change on biodiversity: Rising ocean water temperatures have incre
ased the populations of krill and Antarctic silverfish thus increasing Adelie penguin populations for whom these are food sources. Warm temperatures and more frequent dry periods have stressed frog species such as the coqui making them more vulnerable to a lethal fungal infection thus reducing their populations. The warming of ocean waters in conjunction with increased carbon dioxide dissolving into ocean has resulted in boon for coral reefs which are thriving. Mountain ecosystems are not too vulnerable to global climate change because only very hardy species live at high altitude.

Explanation:
Rise in temperature, flooding as well as drought affect biodiversity. As climate changes, there is usually an alteration of temperature as well as weather patterns, the impact is felt by
plant and animal life. According to
Scientists, there is an expectation that
number and range of species, which are regarded as biodiversity will experience declination with greatly increase in temperatures
The restraints are used to keep the child from damaging the operative area. Elbow restraints are usually used post operatively in infants in order to protect the surgical area from damage. The restraint will limit the baby's movement and prevent him from accessing the area of the body that was operated.
