Jennifer Sunday1 1 Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, 2212 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Sunday@biodiversity.ubc.ca, @jennsunday As the world has warmed, species distributions have moved polewards in latitude, upwards in elevation and deeper in depth. This global redistribution calls on ecologists to apply long-standing hypotheses about the factors that limit species distributions. Here…

Ms Kathleen Carroll1, Dr. Andrew Hansen1, Dr. Robert Inman2 1Montana State University, Bozeman, United States, 2Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Helena, United States In the conterminous United States, wolverines (Gulo gulo) occupy semi-isolated patches of public lands. Connectivity among this metapopulation is essential to the persistence of this species in the western U.S. However, maintaining…

In marine systems, changes in plant-herbivore interactions can lead to…
