Climatic extremes are becoming increasingly common against a background trend of global
warming. In the oceans, marine heatwaves (MHWs)—discrete periods of anomalously warm …

The capacity of fishes to cope with environmental variation is considered to be a main
determinant of their fitness and is partly determined by their stress physiology. By 2100 …

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 …

There is mounting evidence of species redistribution as climate warms. Yet, our knowledge
of the coupling between species range shifts and isotherm shifts remains limited. Here, we …

As anthropogenic climate change continues the risks to biodiversity will increase over time,
with future projections indicating that a potentially catastrophic loss of global biodiversity is …

Species' vulnerability to climate change depends on the most temperature-sensitive life
stages, but for major animal groups such as fish, life cycle bottlenecks are often not clearly …

Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Temperature affects the rate of all biochemical processes in ectotherms, and is therefore
critical for determining their current and future distribution under global climate change …

The latitudinal gradient in species richness, with more species in the tropics and richness
declining with latitude, is widely known and has been assumed to be stable over recent …

Climate change affects life at global scales and across systems but is of special concern in
areas that are disproportionately rich in biological diversity and uniqueness. Using a meta …
