Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the
next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For example, will it be limited …

The concept of oxygen-and capacity-dependent thermal tolerance in aquatic ectotherms has
successfully explained climate-induced effects of rising temperatures on species abundance …

Global warming and increased atmospheric CO2 are causing the oceans to warm, decrease
in pH and become hypercapnic. These stressors have deleterious impacts on marine …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1041–1054 Abstract Two major approaches address the need to
predict species distributions in response to environmental changes. Correlative models …

Global change includes alterations in ocean temperature, oxygen availability, salinity, and
pH, abiotic variables with strong and interacting influences on the physiology of all taxa …

Climate change effects on marine ecosystems involve various stressors, predominantly
temperature, hypoxia and CO 2, all of which may combine with further anthropogenic …

The niche concept is central to ecology but is often depicted descriptively through observing
associations between organisms and habitats. Here, we argue for the importance of …

The earth is in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, and projections indicate continuing and
accelerating rates of global changes. Future alterations in communities and ecosystems may …
