Adaptation to global environmental change: Phenotypic plasticity and trait variability in individuals, species and communities
Subject Group Ecology| Tues | September 10th, 2024 09.00 am – 2.30 pm | University of Hohenheim |
Climate change, deforestation, urbanisation and a multitude of further human disturbances impact environments across the globe. Animals need to adapt to survive, and phenotypic plasticity and trait variability are key prerequisites.
This symposium aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform to bring together current insights on morphological, developmental, physiological and behavioural plasticity and variability of traits. We aim to explore and discuss how animals may keep pace with ever more rapidly changing environments in the future.
