Funded Activity Summary

How does temperature affect complex life histories? A Cost Theory approach. This proposal seeks to understand how temperature affects the relative costs of early life history stages, from development, through to energy independence for a diverse array of taxa, from seaweeds, to plants to vertebrates. The proposed research seeks to test the predictions of a new framework, Developmental Cost Theory, and extend this theory to include germination (for plants) and metamorphosis for animals. The anticipated goals are to provide clear predictions regarding which species are likely to thrive or suffer under continued global warming, and a valuable framework for understanding how temperature shapes the life histories of organisms, including those that are important from an ecological or agricultural perspective.
