Factors restricting the spread of invasive plants at high latitudes

ByCourtney Glancy

Prof Peter M. Kotanen1 1University Of Toronto, Mississauga, Canada Invasions at high latitudes are an emerging problem. Few invasive plants currently occur in subarctic or arctic Canada, but northern towns may play a crucial role in future climate-driven range expansions by acting as centres for the initial arrival and establishment of invaders already present in…

Shifting daylength regimes associated with range shifts alter aphid-parasitoid community dynamics

ByCourtney Glancy

Miss Rachel Kehoe1, Mr David Cruse1, Dr Dirk Sanders1, Prof Kevin Gaston1, Dr Frank van Veen1 1University Of Exeter, Halvasso, United Kingdom With climate change leading to poleward range expansion of species, populations are exposed to new daylength regimes along latitudinal gradients. Daylength is a major factor affecting insect life cycles and activity patterns, so…

Implications of multiple ecological mechanisms on the poleward range shift of snow crabs (Chionoecetes opilio) off Alaska

ByCourtney Glancy

Prof Gordon Kruse1 1University Of Alaska Fairbanks, Juneau, United States Waters off Alaska have experienced pronounced warming in recent decades. For the first time since summer surveys began in 1982, the eastern Bering Sea had no cold pool (<-1.0 C) of bottom water and experienced the lowest sea ice on record. Likewise, in 2018 the…

Transforming understanding of when and where species move in response to environmental change

ByCourtney Glancy

Prof Jeremy Kerr1, Mr Peter Soroye1 1University Of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada It has taken more than a century of collecting primary species observations to identify species’ approximate geographical ranges and seasonal timing. Yet, rapid environmental changes are altering such patterns more quickly than new data can be assembled. Yet, rapid emergence of citizen science programs…

Integrative modeling and assessment of management strategies for climate-driven shifts in fish populations in the Barents Sea

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Stefan Koenigstein1 1NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Environmental Research Division, Monterey, United States The Barents Sea is a sub-arctic shelf sea strongly influenced by climatic variability. In recent years, ocean warming has led to shifts in distribution and productivity of economically important marine fish populations, and substantial management challenges are expected under continuing warming…

Accelerated reef ecosystem collapse following population explosion of a pivotal range-extender

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Scott Ling1, Dr John Keane1 1Institute For Marine & Antarctic Studies, Hobart, Australia This presentation will detail the results of a recent coast-wide resurvey of the range-extending sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) and its’ overgrazing impact on Tasmanian reefs relative to baselines established in 2001. Since the first positive identification of an individual C. rodgersii…

Science in support of sustainable fisheries management: how are we accounting for shifting distributions?

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Patrick Lynch1, Dr Malin Pinsky2, Melissa Karp1, Jay Peterson1, Roger Griffis1 1NOAA Fisheries, Silver Spring, United States, 2Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, United States Fishery stock assessments are fundamental to sustainable fisheries management. They provide the scientific basis for determining fish stock health (i.e., stock status) and sustainable levels of…
