Description
How do scientists measure thermal tolerance and predict organismal responses in the wild? What kind of other data is needed to make predictive models better at helping us understand species responses to high temperatures?
In this special episode, roving podcaster Cameron Ghalambor went on the road to the University of Granada in Spain where he spoke about his own research in the symposium, Predictive Ecology in a Warming World. While there, Cam was inspired to get a few of the other experts into a room to talk about the broader field of predictive ecology, and this episode is the result. Guests on the episode include Jancitha Ellers, Professor at Vrije University of Amsterdam, Enrico Rezende, Associate Professor at Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, and Wilco Verberk, Associate Professor at Radboud University. Cam and colleagues discuss the methods and tools they use to measure heat tolerance in insects, fish, and other ectothermic animals and how collecting and sharing trait data is important to inform and implement predictive models.
