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 …

The geographic distributions of marine species are changing rapidly, with leading range
edges following climate poleward, deeper, and in other directions and trailing range edges …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are extreme climatic events in oceanic systems that can have
devastating impacts on ecosystems, causing abrupt ecological changes and socioeconomic …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have occurred in all ocean basins with severe negative impacts
on coastal and ocean ecosystems. The northeast Pacific 2013–2015 MHW in particular …

Climate change and increased variability and intensity of climate events, in combination with
recovering protected species populations and highly capitalized fisheries, are posing new …
