Tracking optimal temperatures: The role of thermal history and behavioural thermoregulation in the re-distribution of spiny lobsters.

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Michael Oellerman1, Dr Samantha Twiname1, Dr Quinn Fitzgibbon1, Prof Gretta Pecl1 1IMAS, University Of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia Abstract: Ongoing anthropogenic warming triggers numerous species to shift their natural ranges, tracking preferred temperatures to sustain fitness und ultimately survival. Animals may also track optimal temperature by vertical migrations or selection of habitat spaces that offer…

How well do process-explicit models predict range dynamics under climate change?

ByCourtney Glancy

Dr Natalie Briscoe1, Dr Gurutzeta Guillera-Arroita1, Prof Jane Elith1, A/Prof Roberto Salguero-Gómez2 1The University Of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia, 2Oxford University, Oxford, United Kingdom Species distribution models are widely used to forecast species responses to climate change and inform conservation decisions. Most commonly, these models are based on correlations between species occurrence data and environmental predictors,…

Plankton as prevailing conditions: monitoring climate driven shifts in plankton communities as surveillance indicators for ecosystem based management

ByCourtney Glancy

Mr Jacob Bedford1, Mr David  Johns2, Dr Abigail McQuatters-Gollop1 1Plymouth University, Plymouth, United Kingdom, 2Marine Biological Association, Plymouth, United Kingdom Although the evidence base for climate driven shifts in marine biodiversity is growing, how this information is formally incorporated into marine management and policy frameworks is as yet unclear. At the base of the marine…
