Carnivores, roads and plants: how unexpected relationships change - TopicsExpress



          

Carnivores, roads and plants: how unexpected relationships change ecosystems Sunday, December 7, 2014 7:30pm, Beringia Centre, Whitehorse Yukon Science Institute talk Presentation by Alberto Suárez-Esteban, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Alberta (Yukon College). Roads are usually known by their negative ecological impacts. However, they may have other surprising effects. The presence of dirt roads and firebreaks can alter the relationships between carnivorous animals and plant species, making them stronger in some areas and weaker in others. These altered relationships mediated by roads can change entire ecosystems. Join Alberto Suárez-Esteban as he describes his research in Spain, and how his findings there may apply in the north.
