Can animal habitat use patterns influence their vulnerability to extreme climate events? An estuarine sportfish case study

Global climate forecasts predict changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events ( ECE s). The capacity for specific habitat patches within a landscape to modulate stressors from extreme climate events, and animal distribution throughout habitat matrices during events, could influence the degree of population level effects following the passage of ECE s. Here, we ask (i) does the intensity of stressors of an ECE vary across a...
