And it's tugh t take them ff in a shrt while and it annys me a lt. Nw, tech cmpanies have updated their sftware. Facial recgnitin technlgy can nw identify peple even if they are wearing a mask.

The success f many Nrth American crps partly depends n grund beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that culd therwise damage crps. But a new study by researchers in the U.S. and Canada suggests nt all f the nearly 2,000 species f grund beetles fund in Nrth America will survive climate change. Sme culd decline And that culd have a far-reaching impact n agriculture, frestry, and cnservatin.
By analyzing data n 136 different grund beetle species acrss cntinental Nrth America, Puert Ric and Hawaii, the researchers fund that a species' chance f success in a changing climate depends n several imprtant factrs, such as its habitat preference, bdy size, and whether it flies, climbs r runs.

But there is reasn fr hpe, Qiu added, because the analysis als shwed that habitat cnservatin can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in sme areas.
“We hpe cnservatin bilgists will use this infrmatin and the nline map that we created t better manage habitats fr insects in general. Grund beetles are very beneficial t ecsystems, but they're largely invisible t the average persn. In this paper we re shwing the brad impacts they have n whle cmmunities in frested and agricultural ecsystems," said Qiu.
The researchers used grund beetle cunt data frm the Natinal Science Fundatin's Natinal Eclgical Observatry Netwrk (NEON) and frm 11 previusly published studies t measure and map the beetles' distributin acrss Nrth America. Habitat infrmatin, such as the lcatin f gaps in frest canpies and the density f plants n a frest flr, was btained by using NEON's imaging instruments t create detailed three -dimensinal images f landscapes. They then entered the data cllected int a cmputer mdel t simulate (模拟) climate changes t study hw the insects wuld respnd.
12. What des the new study in Nrth America shw?
A. Pests culd destry crps.
B. Sme grund beetles will nt survive a climate change.
C. The survival f grund beetles nly depends n its habitat.
D. Sme grund beetles will destry crps in a warmer climate.

B. Critical pests are mre adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.
C. Grund beetles will becme less mbile in a warmer climate.
D. The imprtance f grund beetles shuld be widely recgnized.
