DESCRIPTION:Toward a trait-based theory of ocean biodiversity\n\nThe biogeo
 graphy of species is shaped in part by physiological traits that govern to
 lerance to environmental conditions.  The diversity of such traits should 
 thus adapt to the range and relative frequency of abiotic conditions globa
 lly\, but the slow imprinting of the environment on trait evolution is uno
 bservable.  In this talk\, I’ll present a general model for predicting t
 he interspecific frequency distributions of key traits for marine ectother
 m fitness using climate niches that reflect the 3-dimensional covariation 
 of environmental properties regulating organismal energy balance.  The mod
 el allows large-scale patterns of species richness across latitude and dep
 th to be predicted directly from a volumetric census of observed ocean con
 ditions. These results provide a theoretical basis for inferring trait fre
 quencies among species adapted to dramatically different climates in Earth
 ’s history.
