Climate Change in Alaska: Impacts on the Entomofauna
Update: 2018-10-02
Description
The University of Alaska Museum Insect Collection is a biorepository for vouchers from varied projects throughout the state. A number of examples of possible and potential climate change impacts on the terrestrial invertebrates of Alaska will be presented. These will cover various taxa including snow-field associated rove beetles, butterflies, ants, and earthworms. This work will be put in a global context.
Papers mentioned during presentation:
Impacts of climate warming on terrestrial ectotherms across latitude
More than 75 percent decline over 27 years in total flying insect biomass in protected areas
Declining diversity and abundance of High Arctic fly assemblages over two decades of rapid climate warming
Climate change impacts on bumblebees converge across continents
Compounded effects of climate change and habitat alteration shift patterns of butterfly diversity
MORTALITY OF LEPIDOPTERA ALONG ROADWAYS IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS
Has the Earth’s sixth mass extinction already arrived?
New Records of Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) From Dogs, Cats, Humans, and Some Wild Vertebrates in Alaska: Invasion Potential.
Earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) of Interior Alaska
Butterflies of Alaska, A Field Guide
Warm summers prepare for spruce bark beetle return
Increasing insect reactions in Alaska: Is this related to changing climate?
