Birgitta Evengard Div Infect dis, Dept Clin Microbiol, Umea University, Umea, Sweden Arctic ecosystems have many things in common: they are nearly pristine, are facing rapid climate change and are subjected to increased tourism and trade with the rest of the world. At the same time they consist of cold-adapted species, making them particularly vulnerable…
Timothy C. Bonebrake (1) 1 The University of Hong Kong, Kadoorie Biological Sciences Building, Hong Kong, tbone@hku.hk, @bonebraking Species must overcome a variety of challenges in order to successfully shift their distributions in a changing climate. Not only must suitable habitats be available to disperse to but individuals must also be able to get to…

Stefano Canessa (1) 1 Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent’s Park, London, UK. E: science@canessas.com, T:@can_essay Assisted colonisation is a new and untested conservation technique, which means its potential outcomes are typically uncertain. This is not unusual for conservation, due to our incomplete knowledge of complex and variable natural systems. In some cases,…
David J Booth (1) 1 Fish Ecology Lab, University of Technology Sydney, PO Box 123 Broadway 2007 AUSTRALIA David.Booth@uts.edu.au A key metric for climate-‐change effects on species is the change in position of poleward range edge. However, for marine species, with dispersive larvae, this is problematic. Here, I present temporal patterns (interannual, seasonal) in recruitment…
Marta A. Jarzyna (1) , Walter Jetz (1) 1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, 165 Prospect Street, New Haven, CT, 06520 Research on the implications of climate change to biodiversity has mostly focused on shifting species distributions and resulting changes in species richness. Species richness alone, however, often fails to fully describe community…
