Canada Research Chair in Marine Physiological Ecology

生物多样性的变化反映了物种特有的生理和生态反应。然而，缺乏准确和实用的工具来连接跨尺度和分类群的群落和物种动态，限制了对生态群落如何应对正在发生和未来的全球变化的评估。我的研究将在时间和空间上量化生物多样性，并将紧急模式与环境驱动因素和物种的生理耐受性联系起来。此外，我将把生理数据转化为预测工具，结合暴露和物种对全球变化驱动因素的敏感性。在此过程中，我将为管理和保护海洋生物资源产生新的理论和方法。

Changes in biodiversity reflect species-specific physiological and ecological responses. However, a lack of accurate and practical tools that link community and species dynamics across scales and taxa limit assessment of how ecological communities will cope with on-going and future global change. My research will quantify biodiversity in time and space, and relate emergent patterns to environmental drivers and physiological tolerances of species. Further, I will transform physiological data into predictive tools that incorporate both exposure and species sensitivities to global change drivers. In doing so, I will generate novel theories and approaches for managing and conserving marine living resources.
