Ms Nicola Kühn1, Prof Kathy Willis1, Dr Carolina Tovar, Dr Marc Macias-Fauria1 1University Of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom Trait-based ecology is important for understanding mechanisms of species response to climate change by focusing on the functional traits that mediate plant survival under a set of environmental conditions. There is consensus around which traits are…

Ms Kathleen Carroll1, Dr. Andrew Hansen1, Dr. Robert Inman2 1Montana State University, Bozeman, United States, 2Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Helena, United States In the conterminous United States, wolverines (Gulo gulo) occupy semi-isolated patches of public lands. Connectivity among this metapopulation is essential to the persistence of this species in the western U.S. However, maintaining…
Dr Renee Catullo1,2, Prof. Craig Moritz1 1Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, 2FSP Environomics, CSIRO, Canberra, Australia Abstract: Diversity metrics such as species richness, functional diversity, and phylogenetic diversity are regularly suggested as useful methods for determining conservation priorities at regional scales. These measures are often correlated, leading to suggestions that one diversity metric may substitute…
