Understanding how Australia ' s biodiversity responds to climate change
Research project
The Evolution and Ecology Research Centre provides vital insights into the responses of Australian biodiversity to climate change . Species are already changing the way they grow , reproducing at different times , and shifting their distributions . Different species respond in different ways and at different rates , resulting in the rapid reshaping of ecological communities . This has substantial implications for conservation and biodiversity markets .
