Climatic Regulation of Ant Assemblages in North and Central America

9417050 Delcourt景观因人类活动和自然干扰而随时间变化。景观的长期变化通常是古生态学家的研究领域，而生态学家则专注于更近期的景观特征。本研究开辟了连接生态和古生态数据集的新途径。这为预测未来气候变化和土地利用变化对生态过渡带位置和景观整体组成的影响提供了一种手段。

9417050 Delcourt Landscapes change through time due to human activity and natural disturbances. Long-term changes in the landscape have generally been the domain of study for paleoecologists, while ecologists have focused on more recent characterization of landscapes. This study develops new ways to interface ecological and paleoecological data sets. This provides a means for projecting the impacts of future climate change and land-use change on the locations of ecological transition zones and the overall composition of the landscape.
