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。 意义：物种已经对气候变化做出了反应，许多物种面临着很高的灭绝率。一些物种将能够通过进化适应避免灭绝。然而，我们目前缺乏准确预测哪些物种有能力适应和避免灭绝的能力。 预期成果：该项目的预期成果包括提高预测物种对当前气候变化的脆弱性的能力。 优点：该项目将通过确定需要有针对性的保护管理的物种，大大提高我们管理受威胁物种和关键物种的能力。

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.
