From models of species distributions to models of communities

Prof. Miguel Araujo Climate and land use changes are leading to alterations in the distributions of species and the composition of assemblages. Most current models focus on species distributions, especially those concerned with animals, but there is a growing interest in how environmental changes might affect ecosystems and their associated services to society. However, scaling…

Washing away connection and knowledge’: the impact of climate change on Indigenous landscapes and values

In the late Holocene, Tasmania Aboriginal peoples faced significant challenges in rising sea levels and changing resource economies.  However, rather than a deterrent, the peoples thrived with new resources and Tasmania stands alone as possessing the richest maritime archaeological material in the world.  Critical marine resources have not only shaped the physical landscape of coastal…
