Canada¿s 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.

S加拿大的生态系统正在迅速变化，我们迫切需要预见力来确定使有机体适应的机制。综合生态学可以通过组合多种工具(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，从而提供切实的解决方案。我在综合生态学中的第二级CRC确定了在快速变化下(例如，劳伦斯五大湖、加拿大北极)对省和全国重要的生态系统中关键物种的表现/适合性进行调解的关键潜在机制。我的第二个任期将决定哪些个人/物种具有在应对环境变化进一步增加的情况下生存和繁荣所需的机械能力。
