This paper focuses on the ecosystem regime shift in the North Sea that occurred during the
period 1982–1988. The evidence for the change is seen from individual species to key …

Alister Hardy conceived the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey in the 1920s as a
means of mapping near-surface plankton in space and time, interpreting the changing …

The Ocean plays a central role in Earth's climate and has absorbed 93% of the extra energy
from the enhanced greenhouse effect and approximately 30% of anthropogenic carbon …

Climate change challenges organisms to adapt or move to track changes in environments in
space and time. We used two measures of thermal shifts from analyses of global …

We provide evidence of large-scale changes in the biogeography of calanoid copepod
crustaceans in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean and European shelf seas. We demonstrate …

The index of the North Atlantic Oscillation, the dominant mode of climatic variability in the
North Atlantic region, changed in the late 1980s (1987–1989) from a negative to a positive …

Large‐scale biogeographical changes in the biodiversity of a key zooplankton group
(calanoid copepods) were detected in the north‐eastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean and …

We evaluated copepod taxonomic diversity as a potential biological indicator of ocean
conditions in the northeast Pacific Ocean using data collected biweekly between May 1996 …

Despite the increasing evidence of drastic and profound changes in many ecosystems, often
referred to as regime shifts, we have little ability to understand the processes that provide …

Wide-scale and sudden shifts in several biological and environmental systems of NW
Europe have been reported in recent years, and attributed to a range of factors, both climatic …
