Ocean temperature variability is a fundamental component of the Earth's climate system, and
extremes in this variability affect the health of marine ecosystems around the world. The …

The oceans appear ideal for biodiversity—they have unlimited water, a large area, are well
connected, have less extreme temperatures than on land, and contain more phyla and …

The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species
(ie, thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the …

Motivation The availability of user‐friendly, high‐resolution global environmental datasets is
crucial for bioclimatic modelling. For terrestrial environments, WorldClim has served this …

Climate change is impacting virtually all marine life. Adaptation strategies will require a
robust understanding of the risks to species and ecosystems and how those propagate to …

Global warming is markedly changing diverse coral reef ecosystems through an increasing
frequency and magnitude of mass bleaching events,–. How local impacts scale up across …

Climate change is a mounting threat to biological diversity, compromising ecosystem
structure and function, and undermining the delivery of essential services worldwide. As the …

Global warming is forcing many species to shift their distributions upward, causing
consequent changes in the compositions of species that occur at specific locations. This …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a primary management tool for mitigating threats to
marine biodiversity,. MPAs and the species they protect, however, are increasingly being …
