Genomic vulnerability

目的：该项目旨在验证物种对气候变化脆弱性的基因组预测。

Aims: This project aims to validate genomic predictions of species’ vulnerability to climate change. Significance: Species are already responding to climate change, and many face high predicted rates of extinction. Some species will be able to avoid extinction via evolutionary adaptation. Yet we currently lack the ability to accurately predict which species do and do not have the capacity to adapt and avoid extinction. Expected outcomes: Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced ability to predict species’ vulnerability to ongoing climate change. Benefits: This project should significantly improve our capacity to manage threatened and keystone species by identifying those that will require targeted conservation management.
