Global redistribution of Earth's species is widely recognised as a fingerprint of climate change. However, the physiological and ecological processes that underpin such shifts in the distribution of marine species are poorly understood. Even less is known about why species respond at different rates, and how such widespread changes will impact the structure and function of Australia's marine ecosystems. This research will address critical knowledge gaps of why and how species respond in vastly different ways to environmental change. Research outcomes will improve the capacity to predict responses of marine species and ecosystems to climate change and provide advice relevant to strategic management of valuable natural resources.

全球物种的重新分布被广泛认为是气候变化的一个标志。然而，支撑海洋物种分布这种变化的生理和生态过程却知之甚少。更少人知道为什么物种会以不同的速度做出反应，以及这种广泛的变化将如何影响澳大利亚海洋生态系统的结构和功能。这项研究将解决物种为什么以及如何以截然不同的方式对环境变化做出反应的关键知识空白。研究成果将提高预测海洋物种和生态系统对气候变化的反应的能力，并提供与宝贵自然资源战略管理有关的咨询意见。
