Dr. Jacob Daane - Using evolution & development of Antarctic fishes to understand adaption to climate changes past & present
Wednesday, February 28, 2024
12:15 pm - 1:15 pm
Climate
change
is
expected
to
disrupt
weather
patterns
and
alter
habitat
boundaries,
exerting
pressure
on
species
to
either
migrate
or
adapt
to
their
changing
environments.
Over
the
past
30
million
years,
Antarctic
notothenioid
fishes
have
diversified
from
a
common
ancestor
into
numerous
descendant
species
following
prolonged
global
cooling.
This
diversification
offers
an
opportunity
to
retrospectively
analyze
their
adaptive
responses
to
past
climate
change
events.
