Physiological studies can help predict effects of climate change through determining which
species currently live closest to their upper thermal tolerance limits, which physiological …

Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the
next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For example, will it be limited …

Climate change challenges organisms to adapt or move to track changes in environments in
space and time. We used two measures of thermal shifts from analyses of global …

Seaweeds are ecologically important primary producers, competitors, and ecosystem
engineers that play a central role in coastal habitats ranging from kelp forests to coral reefs …

A long-standing theory, originating with Darwin, suggests that abiotic forces set species
range limits at high latitude, high elevation, and other abiotically 'stressful'areas, while …

Understanding and forecasting current and future consequences of coastal warming require
a fine-scale assessment of the near-shore temperature changes. Here we show that despite …

Human population density within 100 km of the sea is approximately three times higher than
the global average. People in this zone are concentrated in coastal cities that are hubs for …

Ecological patterns are determined by the interplay between abiotic factors and interactions
among species. As the Earth's climate warms, interactions such as competition, predation …

Temperate Australia is a global hotspot for marine biodiversity and its waters have
experienced well-above global average rates of ocean warming. We review the observed …

Highlights•We provide a simple method to determine the microscale pertinent to small
insects.•Fine-scale microclimates can differ from local microclimates that are widely …
