Butterflies and climate change: Identifying vagrant records to characterize species’ mobility

ByCourtney Glancy

Prof William Fagan1, Dr. Kumar Mainali1, Prof. Leslie Ries2, Prof.  Trevor Hefley3 1University Of Maryland, College Park,, United States, 2Georgetown University, Washington,, United States, 3Kansas State University, Manhattan,, United States Facing climate change, species unable to adapt locally must disperse if they are to persist.  But how much dispersal is possible? How can we distinguish…

Post-Anthropocene conservation: what can we do to maximize life after we’re gone?

ByCourtney Glancy

Prof David Watson1, Dr Maggie Watson1 1Charles Sturt University, Albury, Australia Abstract: Planetary conditions conducive to multi-cellular life are predicted to continue for another billion years—longer than there have been plants and animals.  Since humans will inevitably become extinct much sooner, the foreseeable future comprises a hitherto unexplored paradox—a habitable planet devoid of people.  Although…

Global Rewilding Potential

ByCourtney Glancy

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…

Disentangling fishery and population changes during ocean warming and a marine heatwave in a biogeographical transition zone

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr David Fairclough1, Mr Brett Crisafulli1, Dr Gary Jackson1 1Department Of Primary Industries And Regional Development Western Australia, Perth, Australia Realised predictions of the effects of ocean warming include changes to the distribution, abundance and biology of fishes. In the tropical-temperate region off the west coast of Australia, an ocean warming hot-spot, there are few…

Range edge dynamics of marine fishes in a global warming hotspot

ByCourtney Glancy

Alexa Fredston-Hermann1, Dr Malin Pinsky2, Dr Steve Gaines1, Dr Benjamin Halpern1 1University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, United States, 2Rutgers University, New Brunswick, United States Species around the world are shifting their ranges in response to climate change. Most empirical evidence for these climate-related range shifts comes from measuring the displacement of a population’s…

Fish distributions reveal discrepancies between zonal attachment and quota allocations

ByCourtney Glancy

Prof Paul G. Fernandes1, Dr  Niall Fallon1 1University Of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, United Kingdom The oceans’ fisheries contribute to human wellbeing by providing essential nutrients, employment and income.  The European Union’s (EU) fisheries have improved significantly in the last two decades, with most stocks now sustainably fished; however, some problems remain.  For example, in the EU,…

Characterising range expansion potential of tropical vagrant fishes

ByCourtney Glancy

A/Prof Will Figueira1, Prof David Booth2, Mr Riccardo Cannas1, Ms Giglia Beretta2, Mr Luke Brown2 1University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia, 2Univeristy of Technology Sydney, Sydney, Australia As oceans warm due to climate change, it is becoming increasingly common to find tropical fish species occurring in temperate habitats.  These vagrant fishes have the potential to greatly…
