Off the shores of the Southern Ocean, the black-browed albatross glides on wings shaped by millions of years of evolution — yet a new study from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution finds that those same wings cannot carry the species fast enough into a future reshaped by human-driven climate change. Researchers analyzing three decades of population data conclude that while natural selection offers some marginal benefit, it cannot substitute for the one intervention that meaningfully reduces extinction risk: limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
