Lampreys are jawless fishes that evolved hundreds of millions years ago and exhibit multiple varied life history strategies. Rapid changes in the current climate clear, warming temperatures precipitation patterns over past several decades projected to continue into foreseeable future. The effects our changing may impact lamprey species worldwide ways already recorded for other taxa including range contractions. In order manage conserve native mitigate potential impacts from change, it is necessary understand how lampreys their communities could be affected. We use pathways community change identified by Hughes (2000) evaluate whether aquatic human being affected change. Evidence supports likelihood will affect physiology phenology as well distribution contributions ecosystems. However, when considering length time on planet, evolutionary resulting time, multitude expressions distribution, possible relatively resilient
