Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their
interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in …

The coast of mainland Chile extends from 18° S to about 56° S, and is about 4200 km long.
In the north, the coast is characterized by continuous, regular, and wave-exposed shores …

Climate-driven changes in freshwater inputs have been shown to affect the structure and
function of coastal ecosystems. We evaluated changes in the influence of river runoff on …

The systematic degradation of marine ecosystems is a global phenomenon that has
important and diverse consequences including biodiversity loss and reduced ecosystem …

Understanding the processes that drive kelp forest communities is critical for management
and conservation of these productive ecosystems. As a way to advance in this direction, we …

The capacity of marine organisms to adapt and/or acclimate to climate change might differ
among distinct populations, depending on their local environmental history and phenotypic …

Current climate projections for mid-latitude regions globally indicate an intensification of
wind-driven coastal upwelling due to warming conditions. The dynamics of mid-latitude …

Intensification and poleward expansion of upwelling-favourable winds have been predicted
as a response to anthropogenic global climate change and have recently been documented …

Understanding the drivers of geographical variation in species distributions, and the
resulting community structure, constitutes one of the grandest challenges in ecology …

Current knowledge about the performance of floating seaweeds as dispersal vectors comes
mostly from mid latitudes (30–40), but phylogeographic studies suggest that long-distance …
