Functioning Resilience to Climatic Changes

Evaluation of insect and ecosystem functioning resilience to climatic changes

This project aims to identify traits that regulate insect susceptibility to climatic changes and evaluate potential interactive effects with other environmental drivers. The project will gather a multidisciplinary team including specialists on insect ecology and genomics, functional ecology and global change effects on biodiversity. Ecological modelling will be used to characterize the susceptibility of species to climate change in Mediterranean, Temperate and Tropical regions.
