Biological responses to climate change have not kept pace with recent environmental change, either because species have resistance mechanisms or slow reactions that are creating delayed sensitivity. If the former, species exhibiting slow change are least vulnerable, while if the latter those exhibiting slow change are most vulnerable. The chairholder will combine historical datasets with field and lab experiments to relate species¿ differences in resistance or sensitivity to patterns of recent change. This will reveal whether slow change indicates high or low vulnerability, providing critical information to resource managers and policy makers about how climate change is reshaping biodiversity.

生物对气候变化的反应并没有跟上最近的环境变化，这要么是因为物种具有抵抗机制，要么是因为反应缓慢，造成了延迟的敏感性。如果是前者，表现出缓慢变化的物种最不脆弱，而如果是后者，表现出缓慢变化的物种最脆弱。主持人将联合收割机历史数据集与实地和实验室实验相结合，将物种在抗性或敏感性方面的差异与最近的变化模式联系起来。这将揭示缓慢的变化是否表明高或低的脆弱性，为资源管理者和决策者提供关于气候变化如何重塑生物多样性的关键信息。
