Teleost fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on Earth. On tropical coral reefs,
their species richness exceeds 6000 species; one tenth of total vertebrate biodiversity. A …

Critical thermal maxima methodology (CTM) has been used to infer acute upper thermal
tolerance in fishes since the 1950s, yet its ecological relevance remains debated. In this …

Measurements of aerobic scope [the difference between minimum and maximum oxygen
consumption rate (and, respectively)] are increasing in prevalence as a tool to address …

Biological communities are shaped by complex interactions between organisms and their
environment as well as interactions with other species. Humans are rapidly changing the …

Ocean ecosystems have responded and will continue to respond to climate changes of
different rates, magnitudes, and durations (virtually certain). Human societies depend on …

With the occurrence of global change, research aimed at estimating the performance of
marine ectotherms in a warmer and acidified future has intensified. The concept of oxygen …

Seasonal change in temperature has a profound effect on reproduction in fish. Increasing
temperatures cue reproductive development in spring-spawning species, and falling …

Understanding the capacity of species to acclimate and adapt to expected temperature
increases is critical for making predictions about the biological impacts of global warming …

Global change includes alterations in ocean temperature, oxygen availability, salinity, and
pH, abiotic variables with strong and interacting influences on the physiology of all taxa …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide has resulted in scientific projections of changes in global
temperatures, climate in general, and surface seawater chemistry. Although the …
