The effects of climate change have influenced the health, strength, and embryo fitness of Takydromus amurensi. Temperature warming can prominently affect the embryo survival rates and biodiversity of these lizards. The incubation period for this species was significantly affected by the climate conditions: eggs incubated in the warmer climate hatched 8.1 days earlier than those in present climate conditions. Also, the hatchlings incubated under warming climates had higher survival rates than the siblings incubated under present climates (Liu et. al). Moreover, the effects of climate warming on biodiversity were negative: T. amurensi was found to have the highest net habitat loss with warming climate, as well as the greatest decrease in habitat stability (Mi et. al).
