Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

The term 'stress' is widely used in the algal literature, usually in the context of the response
of algae to changed abiotic and biotic factors.'Stress' is seen as the cause of changes in …

The ocean is home to myriad small planktonic organisms that underpin the functioning of
marine ecosystems. However, their spatial patterns of diversity and the underlying drivers …

In ecosystems, the efficiency of energy transfer from resources to consumers determines the
biomass structure of food webs. As a general rule, about 10% of the energy produced in one …

Phytoplankton are responsible for half of all oxygen production and drive the ocean carbon
cycle. Metabolic theory predicts that increasing global temperatures will cause …

Adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity will fuel resilience in the geologically
unprecedented warming and acidification of the earth's oceans, however, we have much to …

The efficiency of carbon sequestration by the biological pump could decline in the coming
decades because respiration tends to increase more with temperature than photosynthesis …

Habitat-forming species sustain biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in harsh
environments through the amelioration of physical stress. Nonetheless, their role in shaping …

Algae dominate primary production in groundwater and oceans and play a critical role in
global carbon dioxide fixation and climate change but are threatened by ongoing global …

Climate change is predicted to dramatically alter biological diversity and distributions,
driving extirpations, extinctions, and extensive range shifts across the globe. Warming can …
