Abstract:Climate change is disproportionately affecting Arctic ecosystems and their resident species, but knowledge gaps complicate conservation planning.
A proof‐of‐concept application of existing trait‐based vulnerability assessment frameworks were applied to nine species from three different taxa (cetaceans, pinnipeds, marine fish) to determine their vulnerability under the RCP 8.5 emissions scenario. A literature review and data gap analysis were performed to quantify vulnerability and recommend future research pri… Show more
