Climate change has driven contemporary decline and loss of kelp forests globally with an
accompanying loss of their ecological and economic values. Kelp populations at …

Climate change is increasingly impacting ecosystems globally. Understanding adaptive
genetic diversity and whether it will keep pace with projected climatic change is necessary to …

Intraspecific genetic variability is critical for species adaptation and evolution and yet it is
generally overlooked in projections of the biological consequences of climate change. We …

The evolutionary effects of Southern Hemisphere Pleistocene oceanographic conditions—
marked by fluctuations in sea levels and water temperatures, and redirected currents—are …

Detached buoyant kelp can disperse thousands of kilometres at sea and can colonize newly
available shores in the wake of disturbances that wipe out competitors. Localized …

Aim Future climate change threatens marine forests across the world, potentially disrupting
ecosystem function and services. Nonetheless, the direction and intensity of climate …

Coastal refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum (~ 21,000 years ago) have been
hypothesized at high latitudes in the North Atlantic, suggesting marine populations persisted …

Worldwide, kelp populations are stressed by warming, increased storms and other
anthropogenic disturbances. Marine population distributions are projected to retreat …

In species that form dense populations, major disturbance events are expected to increase
the chance of establishment for immigrant lineages. Real‐time tests of the impact of …

Despite the significance of marine habitat-forming organisms, little is known about their large-
scale distribution and abundance in deeper waters, where they are difficult to access. Such …
