The project aims to understand how species will adapt to climate change by examining a largely overlooked process: how competition shapes evolutionary responses. Rising temperatures will fundamentally alter where species live, re-shuffling communities. Yet, how changes in community composition will affect the way current assessments of species vulnerability to climate change is generally unknown. Expected outcomes include improved species models for predicting responses to climate change through the integration of competitive effects with environmental data. The benefit will be an increased accuracy in predictions of species at risk to climate change which will guide policy and management decisions to protect vulnerable environments better.

该项目旨在通过研究一个很大程度上被忽视的过程来了解物种如何适应气候变化：竞争如何塑造进化反应。气温上升将从根本上改变物种的生存环境，重新洗牌社区。然而，群落组成的变化将如何影响目前对物种对气候变化脆弱性的评估，这一点通常是未知的。预期成果包括通过将竞争效应与环境数据相结合，改进物种模型，以预测对气候变化的反应。这样做的好处将是提高对面临气候变化风险的物种的预测的准确性，这将指导政策和管理决策，以更好地保护脆弱的环境。
