Additional Information
The School of Global Environmental Sustainability Antarctic Lecture Series presents: "A changing world and its effect on top level predators: Lessons learned from the Antarctic", by Dr. Shane Kanatous, Associate Professor at Colorado State University. The lecture will be taking place at the Old Town/Poudre River Public Library from 7 to 8 p.m. on November 18, 2015.
To better understand what limits the adaptation of apex predators to changing ecosystems, it is necessary to understand their energetic needs. This is especially true for sentinel polar species, because current changes in climatic conditions can have immediate consequences on their prey availability. Lessons learnt from our work in Antarctica have broad application to many species found across the globe.
