The nature and ecological significance of epifaunal communities within marine ecosystems
As the rate of global change increases, the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems,
including the food webs that underpin them, will radically alter. Forecasting the …

Integrating human dimensions in decadal-scale prediction for marine social–ecological systems: lighting the grey zone
J Melbourne-Thomas, D Tommasi… - ICES Journal of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The dynamics of marine systems at decadal scales are notoriously hard to predict—hence
references to this timescale as the “grey zone” for ocean prediction. Nevertheless, decadal …

Northeast Atlantic elasmobranch community on the move: Functional reorganization in response to climate change
While spatial distribution shifts have been documented in many marine fishes under global
change, the responses of elasmobranchs have rarely been studied, which may have led to …

Trawl fishing impacts on the status of seabed fauna in diverse regions of the globe
Bottom trawl fishing is a controversial activity. It yields about a quarter of the world's wild
seafood, but also has impacts on the marine environment. Recent advances have quantified …

Influence of land-derived stressors and environmental variability on compositional turnover and diversity of estuarine benthic communities
It can be challenging to differentiate community changes caused by human activities from
the influence of natural background variability. Using gradient forest analysis, we explored …
