Tropicalization is a term used to describe the transformation of temperate ecosystems by
poleward‐moving tropical organisms in response to warming temperatures. In North …

Recent shifts in the geographic distribution of marine species have been linked to shifts in
preferred thermal habitats. These shifts in distribution have already posed challenges for …

Species around the world are shifting their ranges in response to climate change. To make
robust predictions about climate‐related colonizations and extinctions, it is vital to …

Even species within the same assemblage have varied responses to climate change, and
there is a poor understanding for why some taxa are more sensitive to climate than others. In …

The Greater Caribbean biogeographic region is the high-diversity heart of the Tropical West
Atlantic, one of four global centers of tropical marine biodiversity. The traditional view of the …

We quantified native fish densities along a depth-temperature gradient within a temperate-
tropical marine transition zone (North Carolina continental shelf) to examine the role of …

Fisheries oceanography is largely an applied discipline with a major goal of improving
fisheries management and marine conservation. Johan Hjort's critical period hypothesis …

The importance of estuarine seagrass beds as nurseries for juvenile fish has become a
universal paradigm, especially for estuaries that are as important as the Chesapeake Bay …

Due to their location at the intersection of marine and freshwater ecosystems, estuaries are
subject to the impacts of global change from both the ocean and land. Recent evidence has …

We couple a species range limit hypothesis with the output of an ensemble of general
circulation models to project the poleward range limit of gray snapper. Using laboratory …
