The project aims to understand how species will adapt to climate change by examining a largely overlooked process: how competition shapes evolutionary responses. Rising temperatures will fundamentally alter where species live, re-shuffling communities. Yet, how changes in community composition will affect the way current assessments of species vulnerability to climate change is generally unknown. Expected outcomes include improved species models for predicting responses to climate change through the integration of competitive effects with environmental data. The benefit will be an increased accuracy in predictions of species at risk to climate change which will guide policy and management decisions to protect vulnerable environments better.

该项目旨在通过研究一个在很大程度上被忽视的过程来了解物种如何适应气候变化：竞争如何塑造进化反应。温度升高将从根本上改变物种居住的地方，重新整理社区。然而，社区组成的变化将如何影响物种对气候变化的脆弱性的评估方式通常未知。预期的结果包括改进的物种模型，通过将竞争效应与环境数据结合在一起来预测对气候变化的反应。利益将是预测气候变化风险的物种的准确性，这将指导政策和管理决策以更好地保护弱势环境。
