Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities

James Cook University College of Science and Engineering

Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
