Beyond simple models of (marine) species on the move
Why are species found where they are and not elsewhere? What makes them move? Research in the Fredston Lab focuses on the fundamental drivers of species’ ranges, and the causes and consequences of climate-related range shifts. This talk will cover evidence for temperature driving the biogeography and abundance of demersal fishes across spatial and temporal scales; a range of projects aimed at disentangling multiple drivers of species’ ranges, with various methods and taxa; and methods and theory for understanding species on the move.
