Pollination, Climate Change and Invasive Species in Arctic and Alpine
Ecosystems Climate change and invasive species have the potential to
disrupt arctic, sub-arctic and alpine ecosystems. The distribution
and seasonal phenology of pollinators are already shifting as a
result of climate change, while the impact of invasive plants may
seriously affect native species and ecological processes even in
remote places. NSERC - CANPOLIN and the Arctic Institute of North
America are organizing a 2-day workshop for scientists and
stakeholders to address this important topic. The workshop will allow
participants to assess the current state of knowledge, identify
emerging issues, determine research priorities and lay the foundation
for new collaborations and partnerships.
Leading pollination biologists from Canada and the US working in
arctic and alpine ecosystems will share their recent findings, and a
major portion of the workshop will be devoted to group discussions
and action planning. Local experts from the Yukon will also be
participating. When:
July 23 - 24, 2013 (+ optional excursion on July 25th.
Where: Kluane Lake Research Station, Mile 1054 Alaska Highway,
Yukon (via Whitehorse)
Space will be limited. To RSVP or request more information, contact:
