Tropicalisation of temperate reefs: Implications for ecosystem functions and management actions
Temperate reefs from around the world are becoming tropicalised, as warm‐water species
shift their distribution towards the poles in response to warming. This is already causing …

[HTML][HTML] Future loss of local-scale thermal refugia in coral reef ecosystems
Thermal refugia underpin climate-smart management of coral reefs, but whether current
thermal refugia will remain so under future warming is uncertain. We use statistical …
