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 …

Rapid anthropogenic climate change is a major threat to ocean biodiversity, increasing the
challenge for marine conservation. Strategic conservation planning, and more recently …

Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves
(MHWs) and mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine organisms are one of their main …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Mesophotic habitats, hosting benthic assemblages totally unknown and unexpected in the
early 2000s, are attracting an increasing interest from scientists. Realizing that many long …

Climate change is one of the biggest emerging threats to marine biodiversity in the
Mediterranean Sea. In this chapter, we focus on the recurrent and large scale mass mortality …

Gorgonians are important habitat-providing species in the Mediterranean Sea, but their
populations are declining due to microbial diseases and repeated mass mortality events …

Understanding the factors and processes that shape intra-specific sensitivity to heat stress is
fundamental to better predicting the vulnerability of benthic species to climate change. Here …

Global warming and overexploitation both threaten the integrity and resilience of marine
ecosystems. Many calls have been made to at least partially offset climate change impacts …

Globally, species are migrating in an attempt to track optimal isotherms as climate change
increasingly warms existing habitats. Stony corals are severely threatened by anthropogenic …
