Funded Activity Summary

Responses of fish to climate change. Climate variation will continue to impact biodiversity on our globe. Exciting new evidence has suggested that terrestrial ectotherms can minimise their vulnerability to changing temperatures by altering their thermoregulatory behaviour. Fish, unlike terrestrial ectotherms do not possess the same ability to thermoregulate and it is unclear how behavioural changes may reduce a population's vulnerability to climate change. This project aims to combine bio-logging technology, energy budget theory and climate models to predict the potential role that changing behaviours may have in reducing the vulnerability of fish populations to climate change.
