报告人简介:

        Jens-Christian Svenning是丹麦奥胡斯大学生命科学系教授,丹麦科学院院士,国际生物地理学协会终身会员,主要从事生态信息学和生物多样性的研究。自1999年以来已经发表100多篇期刊论文,其中多篇发表在Science上,此外发表的期刊还包括PNAS、Nature Climate Change、Ecology Letters等。2011年获得全球生物多样性信息机构(GBIF)颁发的第10 届Ebbe Nielsen 奖。

报告摘要: 

        Climate has varied dramatically in the past, within ongoing cooling during the last 30 million and strong glacial-interglacial oscillations across the last 2.6 million years (the Quaternary) having had strong impacts on biodiversity, e.g.., regional extinctions and range shifts. A key question is whether species distribution and local species diversity (s.l.) have been able to track these changes to remain in equilibrium in climate or, if not, how widespread across space and time disequilibrium dynamics have been. My research group’s macroecological work has shown that long-term (10^4 year or more) climatic disequilibria are widespread across regions and organism groups not only in species distributions and richness, but also penetrating to functional diversity and ecosystem functioning.
