Impacts of marine heatwaves in coastal ecosystems depend on local environmental conditions
Marine heatwaves (MHWs), increasing in duration and intensity because of climate change,
are now a major threat to marine life and can have lasting effects on the structure and …

Marine protected areas can be useful but are not a silver bullet for kelp conservation
Kelp forests are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, but they are increasingly
being degraded and lost due to a range of human‐related stressors, leading to recent calls …

Heat stress analysis suggests a genetic basis for tolerance in Macrocystis pyrifera across developmental stages
Kelps are vital for marine ecosystems, yet the genetic diversity underlying their capacity to
adapt to climate change remains unknown. In this study, we focused on the kelp Macrocystis …

Photoperiod and temperature interactions drive the latitudinal distribution of Laminaria hyperborea (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) under climate change
Due to global rises in temperature, recent studies predict marine species shifting toward
higher latitudes. We investigated the impact of interacting abiotic drivers on the distribution …
