A demographic approach to the population effects of climate change

Friday seminar by Hal Caswell.


Abstract

The effects of climate change on population growth and dynamics can be approached on several levels. I will outline an approach to these calculations that makes use of a range of deterministic and stochastic analyses. I will show an example of the application to polar bear populations and, time permitting, to emperor penguin populations.
