Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

Anthropogenic forcings have led to multifaceted changes in the seas around China, which
include the Bohai, Yellow, East China and South China Seas, affecting the functions and …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

Here we build on the manifesto 'World Scientists' Warning to Humanity, issued by the
Alliance of World Scientists. As a group of conservation biologists deeply concerned about …

The future response of marine ecosystem diversity to continued anthropogenic forcing is
poorly constrained. Phytoplankton are a diverse set of organisms that form the base of the …

The latitudinal gradient in species richness, with more species in the tropics and richness
declining with latitude, is widely known and has been assumed to be stable over recent …

Recent assessment reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and
the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services …

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species
(ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …

Climate change affects life at global scales and across systems but is of special concern in
areas that are disproportionately rich in biological diversity and uniqueness. Using a meta …
