Apologies for cross posting

Dear colleagues, the abstract submission deadlines for ASLO is this 
Friday October 10th,
We would like to draw your attention to this session that we are organizing:


SESSION 064: SHIFTING SPECIES INTERACTIONS AND THE TROPICALIZATION OF 
TEMPERATE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS
As the climate is changing and temperate oceans warm, marine species are 
shifting their distribution and tropical species are beginning to 
establish populations on temperate marine systems. This tropicalisation 
of temperate marine systems is now occurring in a number of places 
globally, especially in locations where warming is exacerbated by strong 
poleward- flowing western boundary currents that transport tropical 
larvae into temperate waters. This session will serve as a platform to 
report on: (i) Species range shifts from tropical to temperate systems, 
(ii) Ecological impacts of tropical species in temperate systems, (iii) 
Tropical-temperate transition zones: biology, ecology and oceanography.

We look forward to your participation in this exciting meeting

Fiona
