Fellow Carmen Soria presented an e-poster entitled The floor is lava: Mapping mammal exposure to extreme drought and warm spells? at the Student Conference on Conservation Science, an hybrid event that took place in March 2022, at Cambridge.
[e-Poster] Soria, C.D., Serlupi-Crescendzi, M., Rondinini, C. (2022) The floor is lava: Mapping mammal exposure to extreme drought and warm spells?, Student Conference on Conservation Science, University of Cambridge, UKThe frequency and intensity of extreme climate events is increasing due to climate change. This will negatively impact many animal populations, increasing their extinction risk. Within extreme events, droughts and warm spells will probably affect the ability of homeotherms to thermoregulate. In this project, we have derived maps of future global terrestrial mammal exposure to both events in two different periods (2021 – 2020 and 2081 – 2100) and two emission scenarios (RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5). We found that the percentage of range exposed increased with period and emission scenario.
Huge congratulations to Inspire4Nature fellow Martin Beal for having been awarded a PhD degree Magna Cum Laude by ISPA – Instituto Universitário! In a public presentation by videoconference, Martin presented his project on Identifying marine Key Biodiversity Areas using tracking data.
Fellow Marie-Morgane Rouyer presented her work at the Student Conference on Conservation Science, the 31st March 2022, at Cambridge. Her talk, entitled Are Marine Protected Areas well-placed for the conservation of Atlantic migratory seabirds?, won the third prize for the best presentation!
Fellow Marie-Morgane Rouyer was invited to present her work at the 10th meeting of the RESOM group (Réseau National Oiseaux Marins). This meeting, organised by the Office français de la biodiversité, the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle and the Groupement d’intérêt scientifique oiseaux marins, took place on the 9-10 March 2022, in Port Camargue, France.
