Hi everyone….

Just to add my two cents, I completely agree that Steve’s proposition is the scale and kind of question that should be the starting point.  

But I wanted to add one other dimension to it, and that is, why and how is this challenge different in marine systems than it is in terrestrial and freshwater systems?  As one example, beyond the physical differences in the media, far more organisms in marine systems have complex life cycles in which there are multiple opportunities for phenological mismatches.  Does this increase the scope for climate change to disrupt life cycles, and require more complex evolutionary responses?

Just something I’m thinking about on a Saturday morning here on the west coast, now that we’ve managed to getthrough another fire at Bodega Marine Lab.
