As far as I know there are no documented interactions between the two species in western Hudson Bay yet, but given the new information on how polar bears evolved and may have interacted with grizzlies, it will be especially interesting to see how this all plays out as climate induced changes in distribution and behavior cause the two species to interact more frequentlAs far as I know there are no documented interactions between the two species in western Hudson Bay yet, but given the new information on how polar bears evolved and may have interacted with grizzlies, it will be especially interesting to see how this all plays out as climate induced changes in distribution and behavior cause the two species to interact more frequentlas I know there are no documented interactions between the two species in western Hudson Bay yet, but given the new information on how polar bears evolved and may have interacted with grizzlies, it will be especially interesting to see how this all plays out as climate induced changes in distribution and behavior cause the two species to interact more frequentlas climate induced changes in distribution and behavior cause the two species to interact more frequently.

Predictive models that can forecast biodiversity decline under anthropogenic climate change used to be too simplistic, as these ignored crucial biological mechanisms such as demography, dispersal, evolution, and species interactions (for instance species competition and ecosystem dependence).

The lower Chesapeake Bay is especially at risk due to high rates of sinking land (known as subsidence).96 Climate change and sea level rise are also likely to cause a number of ecological impacts, including declining water quality and clarity, increases in harmful algae and low oxygen (hypoxia) events, decreases in a number of species including eelgrass and seagrass beds, and changing interactions among trophic levels (positions in the food chain) leading to an increase in subtropical fish and shellfish species in the bay.66

For example, cod and lobster fisheries south of Cape Cod are projected to have significant declines.83, 84 Although suitable habitats will be shrinking for some species (such as coldwater fish like brook trout) and expanding for others (such as warmwater fish like bass), it is difficult to predict what proportion of species will be able to move or adapt as their optimum climate zones shift.85 As each species responds uniquely to climate change, disruptions of important species interactions (plants and pollinators; predators and prey) can be expecteas coldwater fish like brook trout) and expanding for others (such as warmwater fish like bass), it is difficult to predict what proportion of species will be able to move or adapt as their optimum climate zones shift.85 As each species responds uniquely to climate change, disruptions of important species interactions (plants and pollinators; predators and prey) can be expecteas warmwater fish like bass), it is difficult to predict what proportion of species will be able to move or adapt as their optimum climate zones shift.85 As each species responds uniquely to climate change, disruptions of important species interactions (plants and pollinators; predators and prey) can be expecteas their optimum climate zones shift.85 As each species responds uniquely to climate change, disruptions of important species interactions (plants and pollinators; predators and prey) can be expecteAs each species responds uniquely to climate change, disruptions of important species interactions (plants and pollinators; predators and prey) can be expected.
