Are critical ecosystem thresholds defined by the magnitude or duration of exogenous forcing?
Poster Number: 17 Presenter/Primary Author: Zak Ratajczak Regime shifts are usually attributed to when the magnitude of exogenous forcing gradually exceeds a threshold-value in a bistable system, resulting in a transition to a new self-reinforcing state.
Climate change and foraging efficiency in a territorial herbivore: changes in food cache quality parallel a change in microclimate
Poster Number: 12 Presenter/Primary Author: Chris Ray Many territorial herbivores expend a large proportion of their annual energy budget accessing and defending food resources. Climate change might impact such species by altering the amount of
