项目摘要

There is widespread concern that environmental warming will be harmful to species, resulting in the loss of the functions and services they provide to support human health and well-being. However, recent scientific thinking proposes that different individual members of a species, living in different locations within the species’ geographic range, have different behavioral and physiological adaptations to warming. This study will experimentally test how geographic differences in these adaptive abilities influence how well individuals can maintain their functioning when moved to new geographic locations with different temperatures. The findings will improve scientific understanding about the adaptive performances of different individuals in the face of environmental changes. This new knowledge can be used to help society adapt to environmental change by informing how to conserve different members of species across their geographic range to sustain ecological functioning. This new line of research will enhance the training of undergraduate and graduate STEM students in the latest scientific ideas, technology and methodologies aimed at understanding nature’s resilience to global environmental changes, and in the development of nature-based solutions that can be applied to these address environmental problems. A fundamental principle in evolutionary ecology is that species residing in the middle of food chains maximize fitness via trait plasticity to balance the benefits of eating (growth) against the costs of being eaten by predators. This foraging-predation risk trade-off can strongly shape community structure and ecological functioning. Yet, environmental stressors (e.g., temperature) can interact with this trade-off, thus complicating efforts to predict its consequences for community structure and functioning. This project addresses this complexity by studying a dominant herbivore (grasshopper) species that influences the structure of New England old-field communities via this trade-off. Grasshopper populations display geographic variation in plastic responses (physiological vs. behavioral) to temperature and predation risk with decidedly different effects on community structure. The study tests the hypothesis that high and low temperature variation favor behavioral and physiological plasticity, respectively. Laboratory and field experiments with populations having different temperature regimes will assess (i) how geographic variation in plasticity shapes the influence of thermal physiology and predator avoidance on food chain interactions and (ii) how such plasticity shifts after long-term exposure to different climate regimes. The results will provide novel insights into how local adaptation may alter the functional role that species play in ecological communities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
人们普遍担心,环境变暖将对物种有害,导致它们失去支持人类健康和福祉的功能和服务。然而,最近的科学思维表明,一个物种的不同个体成员,生活在该物种地理范围内的不同位置,对气候变暖有不同的行为和生理适应。这项研究将通过实验测试这些适应能力的地理差异如何影响个人在搬到不同温度的新地理位置时如何很好地维持自己的功能。这些发现将提高人们对不同个体在面对环境变化时的适应表现的科学理解。这一新知识可用于帮助社会适应环境变化,方法是告知如何在其地理范围内保护物种的不同成员,以维持生态功能。这一新的研究方向将加强对STEM本科生和研究生的培训,使他们掌握最新的科学思想、技术和方法,以了解自然对全球环境变化的适应能力,并开发可应用于解决环境问题的基于自然的解决方案。进化生态学的一个基本原理是,生活在食物链中间的物种通过特征可塑性来最大化适应能力,以平衡进食(生长)的好处和被捕食者吃掉的成本。这种觅食-捕食风险的权衡可以强烈地塑造群落结构和生态功能。然而,环境应激源(如温度)可能与这种权衡相互作用,从而使预测其对群落结构和功能的影响的努力复杂化。这个项目通过研究一种占主导地位的草食动物(蚱蜢)物种来解决这种复杂性,这种物种通过这种权衡影响了新英格兰旧农田群落的结构。蝗虫种群对温度和捕食风险的塑料反应(生理和行为)在地理上存在差异,对群落结构的影响明显不同。这项研究验证了这样的假设,即高温度变化和低温度变化分别有利于行为和生理可塑性。实验室和野外对具有不同温度制度的种群进行的实验将评估(I)可塑性的地理差异如何塑造热生理和捕食者回避对食物链相互作用的影响,以及(Ii)这种可塑性在长期暴露于不同的气候制度后如何变化。这一结果将为当地适应如何改变物种在生态社区中扮演的功能角色提供新的见解。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
