Recherche

Comment les distributions biogéographiques répondent-elles aux changements environnementaux? Pourquoi les espèces ne vivent-elles pas partout? Notre groupe de recherche se connecte à travers les échelles pour comprendre les rôles relatifs de la physiologie, des interactions écologiques et de la dispersion dans la détermination des distributions d'espèces à travers les gradients environnementaux. Nous cherchons à répondre à ces questions en couplant la théorie avec les observations, y compris les réponses en temps réel au changement climatique.
