Abstract
Although global warming may not yet have reached catastrophic proportions, its subtle effects can already be seen in the natural world. Studies indicate that butterflies are shifting their home range toward cooler areas and that fruit flies are also feeling the heatmdash;in their genes. Evolutionary geneticists are thrilled with demonstration of the fly genome responding to global warming. On the other hand, they are also concerned.
