Do plankton taxa within functional lifeform groups respond similarly to temperature change?

ByCourtney Glancy

Mr Jacob Bedford1, Mr David Johns2, Dr Abigail McQuatters-Gollop1 1Plymouth University, Plymouth, United Kingdom, 2Marine Biological Association, Plymouth, United Kingdom Abstract: Plankton are sensitive to hydro-climatic variability, and plankton community structure and composition has been documented to ‘shift and shuffle’ in response to climate change. Indicators that summarise these community changes are required to monitor…

Tropical butterflies persist in variable environments through morphological and behavioral specialization

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Wenda Cheng1, Dr Shuang Xing1, Dr Akihiro Nakamura2, Dr Timothy Bonebrake1 1The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R., China, 2Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, CAS, Menglun, China Species are adapted to the environments where they are distributed and tropical species inhabiting stable thermal environments are therefore likely to have low cold tolerance, i.e. “mountain…

Resolving range dynamics of an invasive plant species in the Swiss Alps

ByCourtney Glancy

Chelsea Chisholm1, Tim Seipel2, Jörn  Pagel3, Frank Schurr3, Jake Alexander1 1University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, 2Montana State University, Bozeman, USA, 3University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany Species invasions are a key driver of global change, but the dynamics of population spread remain poorly understood. As invasive species distributions are often in an expansion phase, it is…

An EEZ-wide dynamic management and monitoring approach for a pelagic tuna fishery

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Megan Cimino1, Mark Anderson2, Travis Schramek2, Sophia  Merrifield2, Eric  Terrill2 1UC Santa Cruz/NOAA SWFSC, Pacific Grove, United States, 2Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego, USA Fisheries monitoring and management face many challenges in the wake of climate change, overfishing and illegal activates, which can lead to altered fish distributions and depleted stocks. For small…

Light-driven range expansions and the underwater greening of the poles
