A fascinating study by University of Otago researchers has found that the loss of forest in New Zealand is causing stoneflies to change color. The Zelandoperla stonefly, which mimics its poisonous cousin Austroperla, has turned lighter in color as Austroperla's numbers dwindle due to deforestation. This adaptation is a "textbook" example of humans shaping the evolution of wildlife. While this finding highlights the impact of human activities on ecosystems, it also shows that wildlife can adapt to disruptions relatively quickly.
