'Species on the Move' focuses on facilitating collaboration across disciplines on all aspects of species redistribution as a function of a changing climate. Consequently, we are aiming to engage researchers working in a variety of disciplines (e.g. biological/physiological/ecological, socio-economic, natural resource management) and systems (e.g. temperate, tropical, polar, marine, freshwater and/or terrestrial). The conference hopes to foster the exchange of ideas, discussion of issues and collaboration across disciplines that will address the big challenges that arise from ‘species on the move’.
We see this conference targeting scientists and natural resource managers working in the disciplines of global change, bio-geography and evolution. It will be relevant in the contexts of natural resource management, biodiversity management and conservation, and theoretical ecology. Species’ responses to climate change is a rapidly evolving research field, however, much of our progress is being made in independent research areas: e.g. understanding the process vs responding to the implications, terrestrial vs marine ecosystems, global meta-analyses vs in depth species-specific approaches. This interdisciplinary conference will play a much needed role in developing connections between these parallel streams, and across temporal and spatial scales.
We'd love you to register interest for updates at the website, and any help disseminating information would be sincerely appreciated as well (printing a poster for your notice board for example).
Cheers & thanks,
Gretta
