How does climate change impact species migration and mating patterns? a) It causes species to migrate earlier and mate less frequently, leading to reduced reproductive success. b) It forces species to move toward lower latitudes, causing overpopulatio

The correct combination of the alternatives is: **4. a and c** - **a)** Climate change can indeed cause species to migrate earlier and mate less frequently, leading to reduced reproductive success, particularly if the environmental cues that trigger these behaviors are disrupted. - **c)** It alters seasonal cycles, leading to mismatches between predators and prey or pollinators and plants, affecting the timing of migration and reproduction. Options b and d do not accurately reflect the broader effects of climate change on species migration and mating patterns.
