Abstract The Atlantification of the European Arctic has been an increasingly discussed topic
in polar science over the past two decades. The alteration of local marine ecosystems …

Understanding how biological and environmental factors interactively shape the global
distribution of plant and animal genetic diversity is fundamental to biodiversity conservation …

Comparative analyses and meta-analyses are key tools to elucidate broad biological
principles, yet the two approaches often appear different in purpose. We propose an …

The invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) was first detected on the US west
coast around 1989 and has expanded its range northward from central California to …

As species struggle to cope with rising ocean temperatures, temperate marine assemblages
are facing major reorganization. Many benthic species have a brief but critical period …

Globally, marine fish communities are being altered by climate change and human
disturbances. We examined data on global marine fish communities to assess changes in …

Aim Protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) in the high seas has focussed on
identifying concentrations of indicator species and prohibiting the operation of bottom …

Aim We assess the role of contemporary oceanography and species traits in sha**
observed patterns of biogeography over broad spatial scales. Location Our study domain …

Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools to estimate species'
geographic distribution across space and time, but their reliability heavily relies on the …

Warming seas are expected to drive marine life poleward. However, few systematic
observations confirm movement among entire communities at both warm and cool range …
