Understanding the long-term effects of ongoing global environmental change on marine
ecosystems requires a cross-disciplinary approach. Deep-time and recent fossil records can …

The mass die‐off of Caribbean corals has transformed many of this region's reefs to
macroalgal‐dominated habitats since systematic monitoring began in the 1970s. Although …

Genetic time‐series data from historical samples greatly facilitate inference of past
population dynamics and species evolution. Yet, although climate and landscape change …

Hotspots of tropical marine biodiversity are areas that harbour disproportionately large
numbers of species compared to surrounding regions. The richness and location of these …

It has been widely recognized that delay propagation is a widespread phenomenon in air
transport systems. Regional air transport systems are vulnerable to severe systemic delay …
