报告题目：Biogeographical responses of calanoid copepods to rapidly changing Arctic marine environments

报告人：冯志轩博士

报告摘要：Climate change is warming Arctic waters and reducing both the extent and thickness of sea ice. These changing environmental conditions are both directly and indirectly impacting the marine ecosystem. Many organisms are well-adapted to the unique high-latitude environment and extreme seasonality, and therefore are highly sensitive to environmental changes. Here, I will use an endemic mesozooplankton Calanus glacialis to explore how interacting biotic and abiotic drivers shape its biogeographical distribution and induce potential poleward range expansion with favorable growing conditions in recent years. The changing biogeography of this critical species will be discussed in a broad context of the Arctic system that is undergoing a rapid transition. The new mechanistic understanding gained from this study sheds light on the ecological responses of planktonic organisms to large-scale oceanographic processes and sea ice dynamics, and thus enable better future predictions of this fragile ecosystem.
