This photo taken October 8, 2004, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, shows a Hawaiian honeycreeper. A new study predicts climate change will accelerate the rate of extinctions of Hawaiian honeycreepers. Warmer temperatures due to climate change increases the spread of diseases such as avian malaria in forest habitats that were once cool enough to keep mosquito-borne diseases under control, according to the research.
