One of the consequences of climate change has been increasing frequency of extreme weather events. In addition, humans continue to fragment and alter landscapes with roads, energy corridors, agriculture, urbanization, and industrial development. When taken together these changes in temporal and spatial variability have complex ramifications for ecology including several consequences for conservation, e.g., spatially structured predator-prey interactions, dampening risk by bet hedging, among-individual variation in diet (the “Tangled Bank” after last paragraph in Darwin’s

气候变化的后果之一是极端天气事件的频率增加。此外，人类继续通过道路、能源走廊、农业、城市化和工业发展来破坏和改变景观。当这些时空变异的变化综合起来，对生态产生了复杂的影响，包括保护的几个后果，例如，空间结构的捕食者-猎物相互作用，通过下注对冲来抑制风险，在饮食的个体差异中（达尔文的最后一段后的“纠结的银行”）
