Proposed research: | |||
* Study of temporally and spatially correlated changes in species distribution patterns of eastern North American terrestrial and freshwater mollusks and arthropods (e.g., range changes of ecologically interconnected species at landscape scales, along latitudinal gradients, and particular points on the earth’s surface). | |||
* Development of historical and present day niche-based distribution models using predictive tools. | |||
* Assessment of impact of climate change on invertebrate diversity and distribution in the eastern United States. | |||
* Assessment of protected areas for the conservation of invertebrate diversity. | |||
* Workflow development for invertebrate collections in differing forms of preservation. | |||
