Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows–some of the
most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems …

Brown algae adsorb a considerable amount of CO 2 and store carbon in their biomass more
than many other algae species. Nowadays, depletion of fossil fuel resources, greenhouse …

Although climate change projections indicate significant threats to terrestrial biodiversity, the
effects are much more profound and striking in the marine environment. Here we explore …

Aim Understanding the relative importance of climatic and non‐climatic distribution drivers
for co‐occurring, functionally similar species is required to assess potential consequences of …

Understanding what determines range expansion or extinction is crucial to predict the
success of biological invaders. We tackled this long-standing question from an unparalleled …

Seaweed assemblages represent the dominant autotrophic biomass in many coastal
environments, playing a central structural and functional role in several ecosystems. In …

Models of species ecological niches and geographic distributions now represent a widely
used tool in ecology, evolution, and biogeography. However, the very common situation of …

The Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing places on Earth and it is a sentinel region for
understanding the range and magnitude of planetary changes, and their impacts on …

Seaweed and seagrass communities in the northeast Atlantic have been profoundly
impacted by humans, and the rate of change is accelerating rapidly due to runaway CO 2 …

Climate change is causing range shifts in many marine species, with implications for
biodiversity and fisheries. Previous research has mainly focused on how species' ranges will …
