<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'>In a changing climate, plant species will
respond in various ways. Some will cope by changing their physiology,
some will adapt via natural selection, some will migrate, and others, unable to
make these changes, will go extinct. When fragmentation limits migration
potential of plants or when natural migration and adaptation rates are
outstripped by the pace of climate change, some conservation biologists propose
purposeful, human-mediated migration, known as “assisted migration”
or “managed relocation,” as a way to prevent extinction. In
this symposium, we examine this controversial topic from both sides of the
issue and suggest ways that the benefits of assisted migration can be maximized
while the costs and risks can be minimized. Details will be posted at <a
href="http://www.chicagobotanic.org/school/symposia">www.chicagobotanic.org/school/symposia</a>
as they are confirmed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
