A Variable World: Integrating Population-level Variation and Climatic Variation into Mathematical Models to Predict Climate Change Impacts in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
2015. A Variable World: Integrating Population-level Variation and Climatic Variation into Mathematical Models to Predict Climate Change Impacts in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Temperature affects the behavior, physiology, and ecology of organisms and can alter everything from development and life history to geographic ranges and species diversity. Given the broad influence of temperature on organisms, global temperature change is likely to profoundly impact the distribution and abundance of species, with potentially cascading community and ecosystem effects. Predicting organism responses to changing temperatures is one of the most significant challenges in biology today.
