Biological responses to climate change have not kept pace with recent environmental change, either because species have resistance mechanisms or slow reactions that are creating delayed sensitivity. If the former, species exhibiting slow change are least vulnerable, while if the latter those exhibiting slow change are most vulnerable. The chairholder will combine historical datasets with field and lab experiments to relate species differences in resistance or sensitivity to patterns of recent change. This will reveal whether slow change indicates high or low vulnerability, providing critical information to resource managers and policy makers about how climate change is reshaping biodiversity.

生物学对气候变化的反应并没有与最近的环境变化保持同步，要么是因为物种具有抗药性机制，要么具有缓慢的反应，而反应会产生延迟的敏感性。如果前者表现出缓慢变化的物种最不脆弱，而如果后者表现出缓慢变化的物种最脆弱。主席将将历史数据集与现场和实验室实验相结合，以将抗药性或敏感性的物种差异与最近变化的模式相关联。这将揭示缓慢的变化是指高还是低脆弱性，向资源经理和政策制定者提供有关气候变化如何重塑生物多样性的关键信息。
