Climatic Regulation of Ant Assemblages in North and Central America

9417050 Delcourt景观随着时间的推移而变化，由于人类活动和自然干扰。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最近的景观特征。这项研究开发了新的方法来接口生态和古生态数据集。这为预测未来气候变化和土地使用变化对生态过渡区位置和景观总体构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.
