Climate change is increasingly impacting marine protected areas (MPAs) and MPA
networks, yet adaptation strategies are rarely incorporated into MPA design and …

Phase-shifts from one persistent assemblage of species to another have become
increasingly commonplace on coral reefs and in many other ecosystems due to escalating …

Current and future climate-related drivers of risk for small islands during the 21st century
include sea level rise (SLR), tropical and extratropical cyclones, increasing air and sea …

Biological communities are shaped by complex interactions between organisms and their
environment as well as interactions with other species. Humans are rapidly changing the …

Ecogeochemistry—the application of geochemical techniques to fundamental questions in
population and community ecology—has been used in animal migration studies in terrestrial …

Understanding the capacity of species to acclimate and adapt to expected temperature
increases is critical for making predictions about the biological impacts of global warming …

Seasonal change in temperature has a profound effect on reproduction in fish. Increasing
temperatures cue reproductive development in spring-spawning species, and falling …

A leading strategy in international efforts to reverse ongoing losses in biodiversity is the use
of protected areas. We use a broad range of data and a review of the literature to show that …

Connectivity is a vital component of metapopulation and landscape ecology, influencing
fundamental processes such as population dynamics, evolution, and community responses …

While ocean acidification is predicted to threaten marine biodiversity, the processes that
directly impact species persistence are not well understood. For marine species, early life …
