Pollination, Climate Change and Invasive Species in Arctic and Alpine 
Ecosystems Climate change and invasive species have the potential to 
disrupt arctic, sub-arctic and alpine ecosystems. The distribution 
and seasonal phenology of pollinators are already shifting as a 
result of climate change, while the impact of invasive plants may 
seriously affect native species and ecological processes even in 
remote places. NSERC - CANPOLIN and the Arctic Institute of North 
America are organizing a 2-day workshop for scientists and 
stakeholders to address this important topic. The workshop will allow 
participants to assess the current state of knowledge, identify 
emerging issues, determine research priorities and lay the foundation 
for new collaborations and partnerships.

Leading pollination biologists from Canada and the US working in 
arctic and alpine ecosystems will share their recent findings, and a 
major portion of the workshop will be devoted to group discussions 
and action planning. Local experts from the Yukon will also be 
participating. When:
July 23 - 24, 2013 (+ optional excursion on July 25th.

Where: Kluane Lake Research Station, Mile 1054 Alaska Highway, Yukon 
(via Whitehorse)
Space will be limited. To RSVP or request more information, contact:
