The gill-oxygen limitation theory (GOLT) provides mechanisms for key aspects of the biology
(food conversion efficiency, growth and its response to temperature, the timing of maturation …

Climate change is leading to shifts in species geographical distributions, but populations are
also probably adapting to environmental change at different rates across their range. Owing …

Observed changes and impacts Ongoing climate trends have exacerbated many extreme
events (very high confidence). The Australian trends include further warming and sea level …

With the occurrence of global change, research aimed at estimating the performance of
marine ectotherms in a warmer and acidified future has intensified. The concept of oxygen …

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)
states that climate change and ocean acidification are altering the oceans at a rate that is …

One of the main expected responses of marine fishes to ocean warming is decrease in body
size, as supported by evidence from empirical data and theoretical modeling. The theoretical …

Coral reefs provide critical services to coastal communities, and these services rely on
ecosystem functions threatened by stressors. By summarizing the threats to the functioning …

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the persistence of coral reefs. Sustained and
ongoing increases in ocean temperatures and acidification are altering the structure and …

Predicting the impacts of climate change requires knowledge of the potential to adapt to
rising temperatures, which is unknown for most species. Adaptive potential may be …

Global warming is expected to reduce body sizes of ectothermic animals. Although the
underlying mechanisms of size reductions remain poorly understood, effects appear …
