Evolutionary ecologist Sharon Y. Strauss, an early proponent of unifying the fields of ecology and evolution, helped advance both disciplines. Now a distinguished emeritus professor at the University of California, Davis, Strauss remains active in research. One major focus of her work is using phylogenetic evolutionary history to understand current ecology, an approach applied to research reported in her Inaugural Article. Strauss et al. determined that certain plant species may be less adaptable than expected to climate change. The finding holds widespread implications for conservation and management.
进化生态学家莎伦·Y·施特劳斯是生态学与进化领域统一的早期支持者，推动了这两个学科的发展。施特劳斯现在是加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校的杰出名誉教授，仍活跃于研究领域。她工作的一个主要重点是利用系统发育进化史来理解当前的生态学，这一方法应用于她的就职文章中所报道的研究。施特劳斯等人确定，某些植物物种对气候变化的适应能力可能低于预期。这一发现对保护和管理具有广泛的意义。
