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

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…

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

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…

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

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…

Alternative climate drivers of local species richness, colonization, and extirpation in marine fishes

Ms Zoë Kitchel1, Mr Malin Pinsky1 1Rutgers University, New Brunswick, United States Changes in climate lead to redistributions of organisms across the globe. Because temperature drives physiological processes such as metabolism and growth, in response to changing temperature organisms adjust location, adapt, or become extinct. In terrestrial systems, geographic barriers, restricted dispersal, and abundant refugia…

Winds of change: wind connectivity, gene flow, and climate adaptation in trees

Matthew Kling1, David Ackerly1 1University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, United States With forest ecosystems supporting the majority of terrestrial biodiversity and carbon storage, the fate of trees in future climates is paramount. Climate change adaptation in these ecosystems will require broad-scale movement of plant genes and species, with outcomes depending critically on passive dispersal of…
