How did you feel on the last day of the term? Perhaps you were excited for an upcoming holiday, or

11 becau morning lie-ins were now possible. Whatever you felt, you probably weren't bored. As the weeks roll on,

though, boredom has a way of catching you up. As 12 as this might feel, it can actually be good for you to be bored.

What happens when you are bored?

When you feel bored, your brain is 13 struggling to find something to activate its nerves. If it can'tfind 14, for example,

by watching television, your mind will look inwards. That's when you daydream or

you find your mind “15 Scientists have found that daydreaming gives your brain the space to solveproblems. It can also

Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal, also known as

a predator (捕食者)in nature. The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.

A team of rearchers wondered whether cloness to people might impact tho survival strategies. We often e

66

that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don't really know why." says evolutionary biologist Dan

Blumstein. "Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance? Or can there

be an evolutionary factor involved?^^

To find out, Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over 100 species, including

mammals, birds, fish and even mollusks. It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar

way to life among humans: they lo their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially pronounced for plant-

eating animals and fbr social species. This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it's intentional, the result of

domestication or controlled breeding. But it turns out that urbanization alone results in a similar change, though around

three times more slowly.

The main point is: we're esntially domesticating animals by urbanization. We're lecting for the same sorts of

characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them. If the urbanization process helps animals

better co-exist with people, it could be to their benefit. But if it makes them more defenless to their nonhuman predators,

it could be a real problem. Either way, the results mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals that

evolutionary process kick in. Tho reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes. We're

changing the population genetics one way or another.

What the rearchers now wonder is whether the mere prence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cau similar

changes in wild animals. If so, rious questions exist for the idea of ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism. If we wish to

help animals keep their anti-predator defens, the rearchers say, we might have to intentionally expo animals to

predators. Ifs just yet one other way that we're changing the world around us.

43. The rearch led by Blumstein is aimed at.

A New Wave of Migration

As the a extends steadily inland in countries such as Bangladesh and as decreasing rains put already marginal

farmland out of play in Ethiopia and other places, a wave of migration caud by the changing climate is taking shape on

the horizon.

But most "climate migrants" will not be heading abroad to start new lives; instead they will ttle elwhere in their

home countries. A report relead this week declares that if nothing is done to control global warming and factor migration

into development planning, by mid-century this internal population shift could involve more than 140 million people in

three regions examined: sub-Saharan Africa, south Asia and Latin America. "Climate change is already a driver of internal

migration, and it will become more so in the future/ says John Roome, nior director of Climate change at The World

Bank Group.

The potential for such an increa in area consisting of 55 percent of the developing world's population rais

questions of environmental justice becau tho who have contributed the least to global warming are forced to shoulder

more of the burden. It is necessary for developed countries like the U.S. to step up, says Maria Cristina Garcia, a professor

of American Studies at Cornell University. Developed countries can help by both working to limit greenhou gas

emissions and funding efforts to help developing nations plan for climate migration challenges.

The study of climate migration is still relatively new, and projections of just how many people might be driven
