Upper thermal limits (CTmax) are frequently used to parameterize the fundamental niche of
ectothermic animals and to infer biogeographical distribution limits under current and future …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic
conditions in space and over time, which are reflected in spatial patterns of species …

Microclimates have played a critical role in past species range shifts, suggesting that they
could be important in biological response to future change. Terms are needed to discuss …

The dominant paradigm for assessing ecological responses to climate change assumes that
future states of individuals and populations can be predicted by current, species-wide …

Halophila stipulacea is a small tropical seagrass, native to the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and
the Indian Ocean. It invaded the Mediterranean Sea 150 years ago as a Lessepsian migrant …

The diversity of life in the sea is critical to the health of ocean ecosystems that support living
resources and therefore essential to the economic, nutritional, recreational, and health …

Rapid anthropogenic climate change is a major threat to ocean biodiversity, increasing the
challenge for marine conservation. Strategic conservation planning, and more recently …

Global climate change affects marine fish through drivers such as ocean warming,
acidification and oxygen depletion, causing changes in marine ecosystems and …

Climate change will not only shift environmental means but will also increase the intensity of
extreme events, exerting additional stress on ecosystems. While field observations on the …
