The habitat rank of many plant and animal species will belike change with climate variety , as temperature shift and pressure organisms to migrate toward their favorite temperature range of mountains . Where , precisely , habitats will change remains unclear , and is complicate by the fact that temperatures shift at unlike rates around the domain . Now , researcher have created maps testify predictions of the direction in which habitats will migrate based on the speed at which temperature change in different regions . The length of the arrows in the maps betoken the velocity of temperature change , and the coloration outline correspond to the nature of the region , as follow :

SINK = Migrations terminate due to some barrier , such as a mountain .

SOURCE= Migrations do not terminate .

CORRIDORS = Many migrations passing through .

DIVERGENCE = Fewer migration end than start .

intersection = More migrations start than end .
