Forecasting geographic patterns of population-level exposure, redistribution, and novel and disappearing genotypes of trees under climate change

Dr Matt Fitzpatrick1, Andrew Gougherty1, Dr Stephen Keller2 1University Of Maryland Center For Environmental Science, Frostburg, United States, 2University of Vermont, Burlington, United States To avoid extirpation under rapid environmental change, species must either adapt or move to newly suitable habitats. Most modeling efforts ignore population-level variation in the relative importance of these two strategies…

Developing and evaluating adaptation options for marine fisheries on the move

Dr Emily Ogier1,2, Prof Gretta Pecl1,2 1Institute for Marine And Antarctic Studies, University Of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia, 2Centre for Marine Socioecology, Hobart, Australia Abstract: Planned adaptation to climate-driven changes in the distribution of marine species targeted by capture fisheries must, by necessity, interact with existing policy and management, as well as industry stewardship. Optimal adaptation…

Patterns and models of natal dispersal in the wild boar

Prof Stefano Focardi1, Dr Barbara  Franzetti2, Dr Marta Catenacci2, Dr. Francesca Ronchi3 1ISC-CNR, Sesto fiorentino , Italy, 2ISPRA, Roma, Italy, 3ISPRA, Venezia, Italy The range shift of wildlife species is determined  by artificial mechanisms (such as voluntary or accidental translocations) or natural processes, the most relevant being natal dispersal. The evolutionary importance of natal dispersal…

Mechanisms of range collapse and extinction for the woolly mammoth

A/Prof Damien  Fordham1, Dr Stuart Brown1, A/Prof David Nogues-Bravo2 1The Environment Institute and School of Biological Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia, 2Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate, Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Disentangling climate from non-climate impacts on species’ range shifts has proved difficult using correlative approaches, because…

Marcus Howard1, Prof Gretta Pecl1, Jonathan Sumby1 11Centre for Marine Socioecology, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia, 2Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia Abstract: This is the first global survey of Regional Fishery Bodies (RFB) responses thus far to the current and predicted future effects of climate change. Fisheries management is…

Global Rewilding Potential

Dr Scott Jarvie1 1Aarhus University, Aarhus C , Denmark Abstract: Humans have caused species extinctions and range contractions that might be comparable in rate to mass extinctions. A novel and promising approach to restore lost functional and phylogenetic diversity from human caused extinctions and range contractions is trophic rewilding, the (re)introduction of species to promote…
