    Bluebells overwinter as bulbs and emerge in the spring to flower. But warming temperatures can shift this timing to become out of sync with the seasons. A late bloom means the plants cannot take advantage of an open tree canopy and lose out on on the optimal time for growth.

    Leatherback turtles are sensitive to the tiniest temperature change. Not only do rising sea levels and storms destroy nesting beaches, consistently hotter sand means a disproportionate number of female turtles, making breeding more difficult in future.

    Bumblebees are specially adapted to thrive in colder climates, but this also means they're susceptible to overheating. A warming world is pushing them beyond what they can tolerate, and too fast for them to expand into new ranges. Some species could be pushed toward extinction.

    Corals and their algae partners are extremely vulnerable to small temperature changes. Just 1°C of warming is enough to disrupt their delicate relationship and cause bleaching. If high temperatures persist, or happen too frequently, the corals die.

    Higher temperatures pose a threat to hippos, who aren't well adapted to hot weather out of water, leaving the animals vulnerable to drought conditions. Climate change is also likely to bring them into conflict with people, as competition for water resources increases.
