Red Hake Urophycis chuss Red Hake Urophycis chuss Direct test of flowering date dependence on temperature Sarah Diamond et al.2011. Species' traits predict phenological responses to climate change in butterflies. Ecology 92:1005–1012 44 species in CO Data mainly address PRIMARY ecological responses Distribution Abundance Phenology of single species DISTRIBUTION & ABUNDANCE RESPONSES PHENOLOGiCAL RESPONSES results next slide PRIMARY ecological responses Distribution Abundance Phenology of single species cause SECONDARY ecological responses Community structure Communiy function interactions among species 2 degree C local climate change Repeat surveys in 2009 -2010 1880 – 3117 2010 – 5917 Plant bar & line width = importance Bee Interaction black: persisted 1880 - 2010 red: lost, due to local extirpation blue: lost, bee still present 532 interactions 407 lost (76%) 183 bee extirpation: community structure 224 bee still in system: community function 121 new interactions: community function Plant Bee 224 lost interactions due to altered community function Grey: no overlap in time (phenology), Green: no overlap in space (distribution) Purple: no overlap in time or space (both) Orange: no overlap in time where they overlap in space (both) BROWN: 133 (59%) – interaction lost despite spatiotemporal overlap The Smell of Climate Change The impact of abiotic factors on plant volatiles Will Glenny: MSU PhD student Pollinators use volatiles as chemical cues 60%-90% of plants are dependent on pollination Maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function Account for $18-billion annually in U.S. Flower traits that attract pollinators Junker and Paranchowitz 2010 Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs) Organic compounds Emitted from plant structures Lightweight Communicate with pollinators Monoterpenes Raguso 2008 How will Climate Change Impact Volatiles? c.) Changed Ratios b.) Overall Increase a.) Historical Blend d.) Novel Compounds e.)
