Projectomschrijving
Climate change is inducing significant shifts in species' ranges. At margins of these expanding ranges, altered environmental conditions induce strong selection pressures on life history traits which in turn largely impact on ecological processes. These will be empirically studied under mesocosm conditions and by spatially will be studies by genomics tools.
