Nationalgeographic.co.id—Recent research by marine biologists offers an answer to a hitherto unsolved fundamental puzzle. The question is: why some fish warm blooded, while most of fish cold-blooded? What are the advantages of form evolution this?
This study provides some of the first direct evidence of an evolutionary advantage for fish–fish warm blooded. In addition, the researchers also underlined that species in this demographic—such as the famous great white shark and the fast-paced bluefin tuna—may be just as vulnerable to changes in global ocean temperatures as fish–fish cold-blooded.
