Recalculating route: dispersal constraints will drive the redistribution of Amazon primates in the Anthropocene

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Lilian Sales1, Bruno Ribeiro2, Mathias Pires1, Colin Chapman3, Rafael Loyola2 1University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil, 2Federal University of Goiás, , Brazil, 3McGill University, Montreal, Canada Climate change will redistribute the global biodiversity in the Anthropocene. As the climate changes, species might move from one place to another, to stay within preferred environments. However, the…

Impact of ocean acidification in shark behavior and physiology

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Rui Rosa1 1MARE – Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, Laboratório Marítimo da Guia, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, Cascais, Portugal New studies have been evaluating the potential effects of end-of-century elevated CO2 levels on sharks and their relatives’ early development, physiology and behaviour. Here, we review those findings and use a meta-analysis approach…

Vertical stratification influences global patterns of terrestrial biodiversity and their vulnerability to climate change

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Brett Scheffers1, Dr.  Brunno Oliveira1 1University Of Florida, Gainesville, United States Background – Species distributions in terrestrial ecosystems are three-dimensional, spanning both the horizontal landscape and the vertical space provided by the physical environment. Classical hypotheses suggest that communities become more vertically stratified with increasing species richness, owing to reduced competition or finer niche…

How dragonflies and damselflies respond to global change; a cross-continental analysis

ByCourtney Glancy

Ms Catherine Sirois-Delisle1, Dr. Jeremy Kerr1 1University Of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada There are critical gaps in understanding how and when species respond to rapid environmental change that limit our capacity to address conservation risks in a timely way. Odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) are excellent model organisms to explore this issue: their range margins are thought…
