Capacity of predator-prey systems to adapt to climate change

This NSF-funded project is using cutthroat trout and tailed frogs as a model system for understanding how predator-prey systems may respond and adapt to climate change.  These species inhabit cold mountain streams in the Pacific Northwest, where climate change will affect water temperature as well as other habitat features.  We are using genomic tools to understand how the two species may repond to climate change, and how this could affect their ecological interactions.
