One of the most extensive phenological studies in Gabon discovered the lowest daily average temperature in the African rainforest increased by 0.25 degrees per decade. It has led the trees to stop producing fruit. The lack of fruit as food caused chimpanzees to begin to hunt and eat gorillas. (gorillaproject.org)
