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 …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs), discrete periods of extreme warm water temperatures
superimposed onto persistent ocean warming, have increased in frequency and significantly …

Changes in climate conditions can have cascading repercussions for organismal
performance and survival, altering the productivity of aquatic systems. While numerous …

The global proliferation of nonindigenous species remains a critical stressor driving both
biodiversity loss and socioeconomic costs. These impacts frequently depend on …

Seaweed aquaculture is gaining traction globally as a solution to many climate issues.
However, seaweeds themselves are also under threat of anthropogenically driven climate …

Climate change leads to multiple effects caused by simultaneous shifts in several physical
