This project aims to develop a framework for accurately predicting species responses to global change. Many environmental factors will change, and species will evolve, but in a sex-specific manner. Yet understanding of how the sexes vary in their ability to evolve and adapt to such complex environmental change is lacking. This project aims to integrate environmental data with the sex-specific evolutionary potential of organisms in response to multiple stressors in a spatially explicit context. The intended outcome is a powerful and general tool for predicting the impact of environmental change on the distribution and abundance of organisms. The benefits include improved conservation outcomes and better pest/disease vector control.

该项目旨在建立一个准确预测物种对全球变化反应的框架。许多环境因素会发生变化，物种也会进化，但会以性别特定的方式进化。然而，对于两性如何在进化和适应如此复杂的环境变化的能力上有所不同，人们还缺乏理解。该项目旨在将环境数据与生物在空间明确背景下对多种应激源的反应的性别特异性进化潜力相结合。预期的结果是预测环境变化对生物分布和丰度的影响的强大和通用的工具。其好处包括改善保护成果和更好地控制虫害/病媒。
