Cold Water Fish Can Adapt to Climate Change by Breeding With Warm Water Relatives

Temperatures are rising faster than many species can evolve to cope with them, posing a long-term threat to their survival. But new research suggests an evolutionary shortcut to adaptation: breed with closely related species that can better stand the heat.
