SDMs are not new to conservation, but their popularity has increased dramatically in recent
years. This step-by-step review provides an overview of the efficacy of SDMs in guiding …

As species distribution models, and similar techniques, have emerged in marine ecology, a
vast array of predictor variables have been created and diverse methodologies have been …

Predicting the impact of marine ecosystem warming on the timing and magnitude of
phytoplankton production is challenging. For example, warming can advance the …

As the world develops sources of renewable energy, there is an intensifying interest in
offshore wind energy production. The Northeast US Continental Shelf (NES) ecosystem has …

Trends in sea surface temperatures (SST) of the US Northeast Continental Shelf and the
adjacent Slope Sea were analyzed using a quantile approach. SST through the period 1982 …

Climate change can affect the habitat of marine species and hence their persistence and
adaptation. Trends in area of occurrence and population biomass were examined for 177 …

Many oceanic species in pelagic habitats move vertically through the water column,
highlighting the ecological importance of that spatial environment for modeling habitats of …

As an important fishery resource and endangered species, studying the habitat of Coilia
nasus (C. nasus) is highly significant. This study used fishery survey data from southern …

Climate change is profoundly affecting the physical environment and biota of the Northeast
US Continental Shelf ecosystem. To understand adaptations to climate change, in particular …

It remains difficult to segregate pelagic habitats since structuring processes are dynamic on
a wide range of scales and clear boundaries in the open ocean are non-existent. However …
