This project aims to develop a framework for accurately predicting species responses to global change. Phenotypic plasticity will act as a rapid-response mechanism, enabling organisms to survive climatic shifts in the first instance. Understanding how and when plasticity underpins species’ persistence under climate change is lacking. This project aims to integrate developmental responses to environmental change with evolutionary adaptation and population persistence 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. Benefits include improved conservation outcomes and better control of pest/disease vectors.

该项目旨在制定一个框架，以准确预测物种对全球变化的反应。表型可塑性将作为一种快速反应机制，使生物体能够在第一时间生存下来。人们还不了解可塑性如何以及何时支撑着物种在气候变化下的持久性。该项目旨在将对环境变化的发展反应与进化适应和人口持久性结合起来。预期成果是预测环境变化对生物分布和丰度的影响的一个有力和通用的工具。好处包括改善养护成果和更好地控制虫害/疾病媒介。
