Funded Activity Summary

Buffering climate change - Predicting the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. Environmental change is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity and may ultimately drive many species to extinction. Limiting biodiversity losses will require an understanding of species climate change responses. Phenotypic plasticity will be central to these responses, yet assessments of risk ignore the potential for phenotypic plasticity to buffer species from negative effects of environmental change. This project will investigate the extent to which phenotypic plasticity mediates responses across species and environments. The outcome will be a better understanding of species’ responses to climate change, more accurate risk predictions and more effective protection of vulnerable environments.
