2022: The Effect of Climate Change on the Timing of Reproduction and its Plasticity in yellow-bellied marmots

University of Ottawa

​ I am interested in how climate change, specifically increasing mean spring temperatures, is impacting the evolution of and change in the timing of reproduction and its plasticity in yellow-bellied marmots. I will be conducting this study using a long-term dataset on yellow-bellied marmots colected at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), Colorado, USA.
