Adaptation to Climate Change

www.nserc.ca, www.ecoevo.ca Background Canada is a focal point for climate change, with shifts over the past few decades and the coming years exceeding those in most other places in the world. Research conducted with NSERC Discovery Grant funding has generated fundamental insights into how organisms might respond to these changes and thereby influence biodiversity and ecosystem services in Canada’s future. Examples include changes in the seasonal timing of northern animals and the ability of phytoplankton to uptake carbon dioxide.
