A new study from the University of Michigan has found that rising temperatures negatively affect the immune systems of wild capuchin monkeys, with younger monkeys being particularly vulnerable. Led by Jordan Lucore, a doctoral student in anthropology at U-M, the research team discovered significant implications for climate change and its impact on animal health. The study highlights how temperature fluctuations could have detrimental effects on wild species, especially young individuals who depend more heavily on their immune systems.
