- Abstract:
- Climate change is one of the major threats currently facing biodiversity. Predicting the impact of climate change for species requires the development of population models which quantify both the costs of moving in response to change, and the constraints influencing these shifts in distribution. To make such models useful tools, it is then necessary to integrate them with models of climate change impacts. I will use black-tailed godwits, for which is there is a long-term marking programme enabling analyses of individual movement patterns, and for which there are established links between habitat quality and demography, as a model system with which to address these issues. The resulting population model will then be used within a fuzzy-logic based coastal simulator model to predict the consequences of sea level rise and associated coastal management strategies.
