As the global ocean continues to experience the consequences of an increase in the
frequency and intensity of heat waves, the trend is expected to persist into the 21st century …

The increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts and heatwaves caused by climate
change poses a major threat to biodiversity. In aquatic systems, sedentary species such as …

Freshwater mussels are declining globally, and effective conservation requires prioritizing
research and actions to identify and mitigate threats impacting mussel species …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

Abstract Extreme events like Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) are becoming more intense,
severe, and frequent, threatening benthic communities, specifically bivalves. However, the …

As a consequence of global warming, extreme events, such as marine heatwaves (MHW),
have been increasing in frequency and intensity with negative effects on aquatic organisms …
