In recent years, the use of ecological niche models (ENMs) and species distribution models
(SDMs) to explore the patterns and processes behind observed distribution of species has …

Aquatic ecologists face challenges in identifying the general rules of the functioning of
ecosystems. A common framework, including freshwater, marine, benthic, and pelagic …

Marine planktonic eukaryotes play critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles and climate.
However, their poor representation in culture collections limits our understanding of the …

In an epoch of rapid environmental change, understanding and predicting how biodiversity
will respond to a changing climate is an urgent challenge. Since we seldom have sufficient …

Recent developments in global dynamical climate prediction systems have allowed for
skillful predictions of climate variables relevant to living marine resources (LMRs) at a scale …

The impact of climate change on diversity, functioning and biogeography of marine plankton
remains a major unresolved issue. Here environmental niches are evidenced for plankton …

Trait-based ecology merges evolutionary with classical population and community ecology
and is a rapidly develo** branch of ecology. It describes ecosystems as consisting of …

In the Southern Ocean, several zooplankton taxonomic groups, euphausiids, copepods,
salps and pteropods, are notable because of their biomass and abundance and their roles …

It is well known that temperatures across the globe are rising, but climatic conditions are
becoming more variable as well. Forecasts of species range shifts, however, often focus on …

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a highly invasive species native to North
