Crustaceans are a globally-distributed faunal group, found across all habitats from the equator to the poles. They are an ideal focal assemblage for assessment of the impacts of climatic change and anthropogenic disturbance on nonmodel systems, such as how sea currents influence the movements of zooplankton communities in the open ocean, or how ecosystem processes affect phytoplanktonic species with restricted geographic distributions across a cluster of island lakes that could be a new model system for studies of speciation. This symposium introduced early-career researchers working in the fields of phylogeography, ecogenomics, fisheries management, and ecosystem processes with the aim of highlighting the different genetic and ecological approaches to the study of population dynamics of freshwater, estuarine, and marine crustacean species.
甲壳动物是一个在全球范围内分布的动物群，在从赤道到两极的所有生境中都有发现。它们是评估气候变化和人为干扰对非模型系统影响的理想焦点组合，例如海流如何影响开阔海域浮游动物群落的运动，或者生态系统过程如何影响在一群岛屿湖泊中分布范围有限的浮游植物物种，这些湖泊可能成为研究物种形成的新模型系统。本次专题研讨会介绍了从事系统地理学、生态基因组学、渔业管理和生态系统过程研究的早期职业研究人员，旨在强调研究淡水、河口和海洋甲壳类动物种群动态的不同遗传和生态方法。
