Climate-change-associated decreases in body weight
Research gap analysis derived from 3 earth_science papers in our local library.
The gap
Abstract Climate-change-associated decreases in body weight are often predicted because of changing thermoregulatory costs in warmer environments, but evidence for and mechanisms underlying such changes remain elusive.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated challenges and stated research gap and abstract and future-work section of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1981 and 2026, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 28 times in total.

There is a lack of research on human thermal climates in Australia. Previous studies have focused on climatic determinism, which has been largely discredited. The paper identifies a need for new models to quantify energy exchanges and map thermal stress.
