Seagrasses are remarkable plants that have adapted to live in a marine environment. They
form extensive meadows found globally that bioengineer their local environments and …

Tropicalisation is a marine phenomenon arising from contemporary climate change, and is
characterised by the range expansion of tropical/subtropical species and the retraction of …

Early naturalists suggested that predation intensity increases toward the tropics, affecting
fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes by latitude, but empirical support is still …

Ocean warming and acidification are set to reshuffle life on Earth and alter ecological
processes that underpin the biodiversity, health, productivity, and resilience of ecosystems …

Synthesis of primary ecological data is often assumed to achieve a notion of 'generality',
through the quantification of overall effect sizes and consistency among studies, and has …

The idea that species interactions are more ecologically and evolutionarily important toward
lower latitudes underpins seminal theories in ecology and evolution. Recent global studies …

The hypothesis that biotic interactions strengthen toward lower latitudes provides a
framework for linking community‐scale processes with the macroecological scales that …

Ocean temperature and dissolved oxygen shape marine habitats in an interplay with
species' physiological characteristics. Therefore, the observed and projected warming and …

Extreme climatic events can reshape the functional structure of ecological communities,
potentially altering ecological interactions and ecosystem functioning. While these shifts …

Aim Coastal infrastructures are increasing at different latitudes, and their deployment often
results in a complete replacement of natural habitats. Although infrastructure provides novel …
