Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change
Ecological changes in the phenology and distribution of plants and animals are occurring in all well-studied marine, freshwater, and terrestrial groups. These observed changes are heavily biased in the directions predicted from global warming and have been linked to local or regional climate change through correlations between climate and biological variation, field and laboratory experiments, ...
متن کاملPhenotypic clines, energy balances and ecological responses to climate change.
The Metabolic Theory of Ecology has renewed interest in using energetics to scale across levels of ecological organization. Can scaling from individual phenotypes to population dynamics provides insight into why species have shifted their phenologies, abundances and distributions idiosyncratically in response to recent climate change? We consider how the energetic implications of phenotypes may...
متن کاملCross-Site Comparisons of Ecological Responses to Climate and Climate-Related Drivers
Climate (the average and variability of weather conditions over a period of time) is a primary driver of ecological systems. Important climate and climaterelated factors for ecosystems include precipitation, air and water temperature, ice cover duration, sea level, stream flow, solar radiation, and water clarity. These factors affect resources available to plants, animals, and microbes and act ...
متن کاملThe database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
The PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regiona...
متن کاملClimate changes and emerging fungal infections
Background: Candida auris is a globally emerging yeast pathogen that has shown not only resistance to most anti-fungal drugs but also thermo-tolerance to temperatures higher than the mammalian’s body temperature. Although it has been only a decade since the fungus was identified, its spread of infections has been rapid and quasi-epidemics have been reported. Co-occurrences of the fungus infecti...
