The physical and ecological 'fingerprints' of anthropogenic climate change over the past
century are now well documented in many environments and taxa. We reviewed the …

Phenotypic characteristics of animals can change independently from changes in the
genetic code. These plastic phenotypic responses are important for population persistence …

Fish and other ectotherms living in warmer waters often grow faster as juveniles, mature
earlier, but become smaller adults. Known as the temperature‐size rule (TSR), this pattern is …

An increasing number of short‐term experimental studies show significant effects of
projected ocean warming and ocean acidification on the performance on marine organisms …

Environmental signals act primarily on physiological systems, which then influence higher‐
level functions such as movement patterns and population dynamics. Increases in average …

High-throughput sequencing technologies, also known as next-generation sequencing
(NGS) technologies, have revolutionized the way that genomic research is advancing. In …

Decreasing body size has been proposed as a universal response to increasing
temperatures. The physiology behind the response is well established for ectotherms …

Ocean acidification poses a global threat to biodiversity, yet species might have the capacity
to adapt through evolutionary change. Here we summarize tools available to determine …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools to explore the effects of future global
changes in biodiversity. Previous studies show that variability is introduced into projected …

I summarize marine studies on plastic versus adaptive responses to global change. Due to
the lack of time series, this review focuses largely on the potential for adaptive evolution in …
