Canadas ecosystems are changing rapidly and we critically need the predictive power to identify the mechanisms enabling organisms to adapt. Integrative Ecology can provide tangible solutions by combining multiple tools (e.g., physiology, genomics, behaviour) to predict how and why organisms respond to environmental change. My Tier 2 CRC in Integrative Ecology has identified critical underlying mechanisms mediating performance/fitness in key species in provincially- and nationally-important ecosystems under rapid change (e.g., Laurentian Great Lakes, Canadian Arctic). My second term will determine which individuals/species have the required mechanistic capacity to survive and prosper in response to further increases in environmental change.

加拿大生态系统正在迅速变化，我们非常需要预测能力来识别使生物适应的机制。综合生态学可以通过结合多种工具（例如生理学，基因组学，行为）来提供切实的解决方案，以预测生物如何以及为什么对环境变化做出反应。我在综合生态学中的第2级CRC已经确定了在快速变化下介导了省级和全国至关重要的生态系统中关键物种中绩效/适应性的关键基本机制（例如，加拿大北极劳伦斯大湖）。我的第二个任期将确定哪些个人/物种具有为进一步增加环境变化而生存和繁荣所需的机械能力。
