BACKGROUND Anthropogenic climate change is altering the structure and functioning of
ecosystems globally. The upper layers of the oceans have absorbed> 90% of the excess …

Biodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies,
and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under …

Seaweed (macroalgae) has attracted attention globally given its potential for climate change
mitigation. A topical and contentious question is: Can seaweeds' contribution to climate …

Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

Kelp forests are ecologically diverse habitats that provide vast ecosystem goods and
services, but are threatened by climate and anthropogenic stressors. Laminarian kelps have …

Genetic diversity is a prerequisite for evolutionary change in all kinds of organisms. It is
generally acknowledged that populations lacking genetic variation are unable to evolve in …

Kelp forests are declining in many regions globally with climatic perturbations causing shifts
to alternate communities and significant ecological and economic loss. Range edge …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding adaptive genetic variation and whether it can
keep pace with predicted future climate change is critical in assessing the genetic …

Background and aims Kelp forests underpin temperate marine ecosystems but are declining
due to ocean warming, causing loss of associated ecosystem services. Projections suggest …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have caused declines in many kelp forests globally. Although
the ecological effects of these climatic extremes have been well examined, studies on the …
