Biological 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...
متن کاملImpact of climate change on biological invasions and population distributions
The purpose of this BIRS workshop was to generate, develop and apply new tools for the analysis of invasions and population distributions under environmental change. Thus the mathematical problems that we addressed were intrinsically spatial. Not only do temperatures vary with latitude, the very processes of population spread and shifts in range boundary are modelled using equations with spatia...
متن کاملLinking climate change and biological invasions: Ocean warming facilitates nonindigenous species invasions.
The spread of exotic species and climate change are among the most serious global environmental threats. Each independently causes considerable ecological damage, yet few data are available to assess whether changing climate might facilitate invasions by favoring introduced over native species. Here, we compare our long-term record of weekly sessile marine invertebrate recruitment with interann...
متن کاملWill climate change promote future invasions?
Biological invasion is increasingly recognized as one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Using ensemble forecasts from species distribution models to project future suitable areas of the 100 of the world's worst invasive species defined by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, we show that both climate and land use changes will likely cause drastic species range shifts. ...
متن کاملClimate change. Accelerating extinction risk from climate change.
Current predictions of extinction risks from climate change vary widely depending on the specific assumptions and geographic and taxonomic focus of each study. I synthesized published studies in order to estimate a global mean extinction rate and determine which factors contribute the greatest uncertainty to climate change-induced extinction risks. Results suggest that extinction risks will acc...
