【新论文】关于加拿大两种植物的辅助迁移(assisted migration)实验论文发表

祝贺我的实验室王宇卓和加拿大Alberta大学Jennine Pedersen等关于加拿大两种植物辅助迁移实验的论文在线发表（链接：https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00572）。实验周期较短，但两个物种的响应完全不同，是一个很有意思的小故事！

文章英文摘要(部分)：

Given projected rates of climate change, species with limited dispersal may be unable to migrate at the pace necessary to maintain their current climate niches. This could lead to increased risk of extirpation or extinction, especially for locally range-restricted species within fragmented landscapes. Assisted migration has been suggested as a proactive conservation tool to mitigate these risks. We tested assisted migration for Liatris ligulistylis and Houstonia longifolia, two perennial forbsconsidered ‘vulnerable’ and ‘imperilled’, respectively, in Alberta, Canada, where they are at their northern and western range limits...... Overall, locally rare and range-restricted plants with limited dispersal demonstrate climate sensitivity to current conditions and potential for assisted migration, yet species-by-species testing is needed to understand vulnerability and efficacy of this approach.

今天是女神节，这篇文章的两位主要完成人今天都过节。祝各位女生态学家节日快乐！

刚刚看到Facebook上Reed Noss教授分享美国著名女生态学家Lucy Braun（美国生态学会第一位女主席）的故事，也顺便分享一下！

她对北美东部落叶林的研究是研究该区域森林的必读文献（1950年出版）！美国科学院院士、著名生态学家Bob Ricklefs已经将她这本书里面的数据整理在一起，开放共享给我们。
