Hi everyone,

Connected to Steve’s comment on potential for adaptation, one of the main “holes” in our knowledge IMO is understanding the nature of intrapopulation/interindividual variation in both sensitivity (genetically based or otherwise) and exposure (the very local environmental conditions to which they are exposed), and how these either match or mismatch.  Any discussion of local adaptation first has to consider what selection/evolution has to act on, and what those selective regimes really are. There were elements of this in the survey but I thought it was worth calling out.

Steve, good thoughts on Randall’s survey (pretty sure not Randy) and your question below are excellent contributions that I recall from our 2010-ish meeting, I think about this often, these are good priorities.

Hi Randy, I’ve pasted this into your survey, but maybe it would be valuable to have it here too. In general I don’t find constrained surveys comfortable, but this seemed to fit into the comments box you provided. 
 
For me, by far the most significant evolutionary question is about the conditions that allow species to adapt to future climate? Which species will be most likely to? And how much will such adaptation slow the ecosystem impacts of climate change in the oceans? Most of your questions address this at some level, but they are far too deep in the weeds. Each system will demand a slightly different approach. But the key thing is to keep the above questions paramount.
 
thanks, and good luck
 
Steve

Dear Evolution in Changing Seas RCN member,

I'm Randall Hughes, a marine ecologist from Northeastern University and a member of the Evolution in Changing Seas Research Coordination Network (RCN). On behalf of the RCN, I am conducting a survey to evaluate perceptions of the most important questions in evolutionary biology and marine science. As a member of the RCN listserv, your responses are essential for the survey's success. The entire survey should take less than fifteen minutes to complete. You must be at least 18 years old to participate.

This study has been reviewed and approved by the Northeastern University Institutional Review Board (#16-03-56).


If you have any questions or would prefer to have a printed copy of the survey mailed to you, please email me at [log in to unmask] or call 781 581 7370 x.314.
