Physiological attributes altering the distribution of fishes: an energetics perspective

Timothy D. Clark (1) 1 University of Tasmania and CSIRO Agriculture Flagship, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7000 Climate change is altering the distribution of many fish species, often as a consequence of structural habitat degradation but also through alterations in the properties of water (e.g., temperature, oxygen levels, water chemistry). Upper and lower environmental limits of…

Novel assemblages: challenges for ecology and the conservation/restoration orthodoxy

Richard J Hobbs (1) 1 School of Plant Biology, University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia Much has been written about changes in species distributions in response to climate change and other environmental changes and, in addition, the human role in engineering change through transport of species outside their normal ranges. This deliberate transport…

Colonisation pathways, genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of a non-native lizard

Studying biological invasions may further our understanding of how ecological and evolutionary processes  shape  patterns  of  diversity within  species  and  communities.  The ability of non-native species to persist and adapt to new environments is expected to rely on their genetic diversity. To understand what shapes their genetic structure we first need to have a detailed…
