    7. Oregon's Fish and Wildlife in a Changing Climate Lead Authors: Mark A. Hixon1, Stanley V. Gregory2, W. Douglas Robinson2 Contributors: C. Scott Baker3,2, Harold P. Batchelder4, Clinton Epps2, Tiffany S. Garcia2, Susan M. Haig5,2, Ricardo M. Letelier4, David A. Lytle1, Bruce A. Menge1, Jeffrey C. Miller6, David L. G. Noakes2, William T. Peterson7,4, James M. Rice3,2, Steven S. Rumrill8,4, Carl B. Schreck2, Robert M. Suryan9,2, Mark D. Sytsma10, Angelicque E. White4 Summary and Knowledge Gaps Oregon's fish and wildlife include animals on land, fish and other species in rivers and lakes, and various kinds of sea life in estuaries and coastal ocean. Of great cultural and economic value, this immense biodiversity -- some of which is already threatened or endangered -- inhabits complex and dynamic ecosystems we have only begun to understand, let alone examine in terms of climate change. However, it is clear that the abundance and distribution of species are shifting already and will shift more rapidly as habitats on land, in freshwater, and in sea are altered due to increasing temperatures and related environmental changes. Some patterns are already evident: Insects from south of Oregon, including pests, are moving into the state, and the timing of development of native species is advancing as spring conditions arrive sooner. Frogs are reproducing earlier in the year compared to past decades and emergent infectious diseases affecting frogs and their relatives are increasing in severity. Land birds are shifting their distributions northward and migrating earlier. Small mammals in eastern Oregon are contracting their ranges on mountaintops.
