The relevance of considering environmental variability for understanding and predicting
biological responses to environmental changes has resulted in a recent surge in variability …

Due to climate change, the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events (such as
storms) increased dramatically, causing rainstorm and flood in coastal areas of many …

Plastic pollution is recognised as an emerging threat to aquatic ecosystems, with
microplastics now the most abundant type of marine debris. Health effects caused by …

Non‐native species introductions affect freshwater communities by changing community
compositions, functional roles, trait occurrences and ecological niche spaces …

As global warming accelerates, there is increasing concern about how ecosystems may
change as a result of species loss and replacement. Here, we examined the thermal …

From the depths of the oceans to the shallow estuaries and wetlands of our coasts,
organisms of the marine environment are teeming with unique adaptations to cope with a …

Species with broader geographical ranges are expected to be ecological generalists, while
species with higher heat tolerances may be relatively competitive at more extreme and …

Tolerance towards environmental stress has been frequently considered as one of the key
determinants of invasion success. However, empirical evidence supporting the assumption …

Functional trait–based mediation of animal invasions is only now developing, yet it is
already showing as much promise as the approach has for plant invasion biology. Here, we …

Human bivalve consumption in Europe has steadily increased in the last years, particularly
during summer months when seawater temperature increases. Since ocean warming is …
