“Elevated surface temperature depresses survival of banner-tailed kangaroo rats: will climate change cook a desert icon” by Moses, Frey, and Roemer is about the ecological and physiological effects on Kangaroo rats based on uprising temperatures. The species used for this experiment was the Kangaroo rat also known as the Dipodomys spectabilis. This species was used in this experiment because of previous physiological research and because it is a species that will be suitable to observe behavior and physiological adaptations in an arid environment. This experiment used a method called Capture-Recapture method to analysis 11 populations of D. spectabilis in the Chihuahuan Desert of New Mexico. By using the Capture-Recapture method the
