A literature review was conducted to investigate marine global and local extinctions and
their drivers; the review followed the PRISMA-EcoEvo guidelines. The data extracted was …

Human society is dependent on nature,, but whether our ecological foundations are at risk
remains unknown in the absence of systematic monitoring of species' populations …

Abstract Background Marine macroalgae ('seaweeds') are a diverse and globally distributed
group of photosynthetic organisms that together generate considerable primary productivity …

Marine heatwaves threaten the persistence of kelp forests globally. However, the observed
responses of kelp forests to these events have been highly variable on local scales. Here …

The prevalence of disease-driven mass mortality events is increasing, but our understanding
of spatial variation in their magnitude, timing and triggers are often poorly resolved. Here, we …

Kelp forests line a quarter of the world's coastlines and provide diverse ecosystem services.
While kelps are a harvested resource themselves, they are also foundation species that form …

The recent collapse of predatory sunflower sea stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) owing to
sea star wasting disease (SSWD) is hypothesized to have contributed to proliferation of sea …

Mussels occupy a key middle trophic position in nearshore food webs linking primary
producers to predators. Climate‐related environmental changes may synergistically …

Kelp forest trophic cascades have been extensively researched, yet indirect effects to the
zooplankton prey base and gray whales have not been explored. We investigate the …

Kelp forests are one of the most productive ecosystems on earth, providing critical
ecosystem services. Despite their global importance, their persistence in the face of human …
