Understanding Habitat Shifts in a Changing Climate

In March 28th, Jon Lefcheck gave a talk at MIT as part of the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory Seminar Series. Jon spoke about a recent paper that he co-authored with Katie May Laumann, IAN’s Associate Director of Research, which focused on the expanding range of pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides) linked to increasing water temperatures. Increasingly, this fish has been discovered in Virginia’s restored seagrass meadows, a northward shift from its primary habitat.
