First FCI Field Course Completed Spring 2017
The first FCI Field Course was held this spring and hosted by the University of Florida. The course, titled
Sea Level Rise and Coastal Ecology: Science, Policy, and Practice, was formed in order to provide opportunities for graduate students to practice collaborating across disciplines to solve complex natural resource problems. The FCI intends to offer additional courses in the future.

New Trait - Arboreality - Linked to Resilience and Climate Instability
Dispersal has become one of the most studied traits in ecology and conservation as scientists attempt to understand species distributions and species resilience to environmental instability. A recent paper led by
Brett Scheffers (UF) presents a new trait associated with resilience to environment instability - arboreality.

Species on the Move Having A Big Impact
In response to climate change, land-based species are moving towards the poles by 17 kilometres per decade, and marine species by 72 kilometres per decade, on average, according to a new study co-authored by
Brett Scheffers (UF). The article was the result of the international
Species on the Move conference co-organized by Scheffers in 2016.
