This project aims to identify general properties of body size distributions for thousands of aquatic species by bringing together datasets enabled by global observation and citizen science programs, novel statistical methods and latest theoretical advances. By addressing temperature effects on body sizes, the project expects to generate new knowledge about species status globally, under the combined impacts of climate change and harvesting. Expected outcomes include new tools to integrate limited body size data into a consistent framework for significance advancement of models used in research and management. This should increase the capacity to assess human impacts on natural ecosystems and predict global warming driven changes.

该项目旨在通过汇集全球观测和公民科学计划，新颖的统计方法和最新的理论进展所支持的数据集，确定数千种水生物种的体型分布的一般特性。通过解决温度对身体大小的影响，该项目预计将在气候变化和收获的综合影响下产生关于全球物种状况的新知识。预期成果包括新的工具，将有限的体型数据整合到一个一致的框架中，以显著提高研究和管理中使用的模型。这将提高评估人类对自然生态系统的影响和预测全球变暖驱动的变化的能力。
