20、climate change, scientists say.As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids （杂交种）.With characteristics tha

21、t could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. Usually, hybrids arent better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,Larisa DeSantis, an assoc

22、iate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears* decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears* ra

23、nges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears* highly specialized diets.“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,“ DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals.Although all of these starving polar bears are tr

24、ying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point fbr their survival.Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, lead

25、ing to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.“Were having massive impacts with climate change on species,“ DeSantis said. The polar bear is telling us how bad things are.

29、onsciously（有意识地）copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon（变色龙）effect at play.The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation（模仿）of another persons gestures or behaviour.

34、o be liked, and forming a moment of connection.The main reasons behind humans imitation are positive. However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go unnoticed. But more commo
