Biologists have become increasingly concerned about the realized and potential effects of climate change on biodiversity. Most research focuses on the direct effects of climate change, which is particularly true for freshwater fishes, for which the majority of studies seek to determine how future temperature increases may influence species distributions by altering thermal habitat. We use ongoing trout research as a case study that clearly demonstrates the direct, indirect and cryptic consequences of climate change for cold-water fish. Overall, integrative climate change…

Navigating Coastal Squeeze: Identifying Needs and Priorities to Scale up Estuarine Restoration in Puget Sound This all-day workshop will examine urban growth and rising seas and the unprecedented pressure placed on coastal wetlands and deltas in the Puget Sound. These estuarine spaces support many important uses, from salmon habitat to farmland, natural flood protection to prime real estate and transportation corridors. Intensifying competition for estuarine space raises both the urgency and the challenge of protecting and restoring habitat while accommodating…
