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.
