Novelties that change carrying capacity.
Comparative developmental studies have revealed a rich array of details about the patterns and processes of morphological change in animals and increasingly in plants. But, applying these insights to the study of major episodes of evolutionary innovation requires understanding how these novel morphologies become established and sufficiently abundant (either as individuals within a species or as...
متن کاملCould Tourism Carrying Capacity be a useful tool for adapting to climate change?
This paper focuses on coastal areas and aims at providing a first reflection on the potential role of the tourism carrying capacity approach (TCC) in the context of adaptation to climate change (ACC). Could TCC be seen as a pragmatic and already available tool for starting implementing ACC?
متن کاملBiological Impacts of Climate Change
Global climate is swiftly changing, with poorly known consequences for biodiversity and human well being. In the last 90 years Earth’s mean temperature rose 0.6°C, a rate of increase that has not been seen in 10,000 years. Since the mid-1990s, it has been clear that mean global temperature rose during the twentieth century, but for several more years the cause of the observed warming was much d...
متن کاملBiological diversity, ecology, and global climate change.
Worldwide climate change and loss of biodiversity are issues of global scope and importance that have recently become subjects of considerable public concern. Unlike classical public health issues and many environmental issues, their perceived threat lies in their potential to disrupt ecological functioning and stability rather than from any direct threat that may pose to human health. Over the...
متن کاملBiological invasions, climate change and genomics
The rate of biological invasions is expected to increase as the effects of climate change on biological communities become widespread. Climate change enhances habitat disturbance which facilitates the establishment of invasive species, which in turn provides opportunities for hybridization and introgression. These effects influence local biodiversity that can be tracked through genetic and geno...
