Canadas ecosystems are changing rapidly and we critically need the predictive power to identify the mechanisms enabling organisms to adapt. Integrative Ecology can provide tangible solutions by combining multiple tools (e.g., physiology, genomics, behaviour) to predict how and why organisms respond to environmental change. My Tier 2 CRC in Integrative Ecology has identified critical underlying mechanisms mediating performance/fitness in key species in provincially- and nationally-important ecosystems under rapid change (e.g., Laurentian Great Lakes, Canadian Arctic). My second term will determine which individuals/species have the required mechanistic capacity to survive and prosper in response to further increases in environmental change.

加拿大的生态系统正在迅速变化，我们迫切需要预测能力来确定使生物体能够适应的机制。综合生态学可以通过结合多种工具（例如，生理学、基因组学、行为学）来预测生物体如何以及为什么对环境变化做出反应。我在综合生态学中的第2层CRC已经确定了在快速变化的省级和国家重要生态系统中调节关键物种性能/适应性的关键潜在机制（例如，劳伦特五大湖，加拿大北极）。我的第二个任期将决定哪些个体/物种具有所需的机械能力，以应对环境变化的进一步增加而生存和繁荣。
