DESCRIPTION:Christy McCain\, Professor (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology & 
 Museum of Natural History\, CU Boulder)\n\nWednesday\, August 9 at 7:00 pm
 \nLocation: Megaron\n\nThis weekly summer seminar at the Mountain Research
  Station is free and open to the public. \n\nPlease arrive 15 minutes earl
 y so that you have time to park and make your way to the seminar.\n\nYou w
 ill be joining a fun mix of MRS scientists\, students who are taking cours
 es\, and members of the public.\n\nSee the full schedule for the 2023 Summ
 er Weekly Seminar Series >\n\nTalk summary: Animals across the world\, and
  montane organisms specifically\, are responding rapidly and alarmingly to
  anthropogenic climate change. In this talk we will discuss how mammal pop
 ulations in the Colorado Rocky Mountains are responding based on historica
 l resurveys in the Front Range and the San Juan Mountains. We will emphasi
 ze how particular mammal traits and biogeographical aspects of particular 
 mammal species make them more or less susceptible to extinction risks from
  rapidly warming temperatures. Additionally\, we will discuss how beetles\
 , specifically a charismatic group of carrion beetles\, may respond to cli
 mate change based on their physiological traits of thermal and desiccation
  tolerance across their elevational ranges. These two case studies will il
 lustrate how some of Colorado’s montane animals are and will be respondi
 ng to climate change\, and the important natural history and physiological
  aspects to consider in determining who and where particular organisms mig
 ht be at the most risk.
