Time to Restore: Using a Community Based Approach to Identify Key Plant Species for Pollinator Restoration
Climate change is affecting all manners of wildlife, including insects, amphibians, reptiles, and shellfish. These wildlife play an important role in their ecosystems and provide food or cultural value to local communities. CASC scientists are working to understand how changing climate conditions are impacting these wildlife and their habitats. Learn more below.

Modeling the Response of Freshwater Mussels to Changes in Water Temperature, Habitat, and Streamflow
North American freshwater mussels are in serious decline as a result of pollution and habitat destruction from human activities. In addition, many mussel species are living in habitats that push the upper limits of their heat tolerance, which may become problematic as the climate and, as a result, water temperatures warm. As part of this project, we created a set of models to predict how
