Considering the important function of this gene in several important physiological functions such as energy expenditure, stress responses, feeding behavior and circadian rhythm, this gene is an important candidate for adaptation to climate change in cross-bred animals [56,57,58]. PLCB4, a phospho...
Gender has a powerful influence on people’s experience of, and resilience to, climate change. Global climate change policy is committed to tackling gender inequalities in mitigation and adaptation.
