Mechanisms, detection and impacts of species redistributions under climate change
Shifts in species distributions are a common ecological response to climate change, and global temperature rise is often hypothesized as the primary driver. However, the directions and rates of distribution sh...

Open AccessKey components of sustainable climate-smart ocean planning
Planning of marine areas has spread widely over the past two decades to support sustainable ocean management and governance. However, to succeed in a changing ocean, marine spatial planning (MSP) must be ‘clim...

Open AccessFISHGLOB_data: an integrated dataset of fish biodiversity sampled with scientific bottom-trawl surveys
Scientific bottom-trawl surveys are ecological observation programs conducted along continental shelves and slopes of seas and oceans that sample marine communities associated with the seafloor. These surveys ...

Marine heatwaves are not a dominant driver of change in demersal fishes
Marine heatwaves have been linked to negative ecological effects in recent decades1,2. If marine heatwaves regularly induce community reorganization and biomass collapses in fishes, the consequences could be cata...

Coral conservation in a warming world must harness evolutionary adaptation
To facilitate evolutionary adaptation to climate change, we must protect networks of coral reefs that span a range of environmental conditions — not just apparent ‘refugia’.

Ocean community warming responses explained by thermal affinities and temperature gradients
As ocean temperatures rise, species distributions are tracking towards historically cooler regions in line with their thermal affinity1,2. However, different responses of species to warming and changed species in...

Management for network diversity speeds evolutionary adaptation to climate change
Ecosystems around the world are reorganizing due to climate change1, motivating management responses to facilitate species persistence and maintain ecological functions. Spatial management actions are generally u...

Shifting habitats expose fishing communities to risk under climate change
Climate change is expected to have a profound impact on the distribution, abundance and diversity of marine species globally1,2. These ecological impacts of climate change will affect human communities dependent ...

Greater vulnerability to warming of marine versus terrestrial ectotherms
Understanding which species and ecosystems will be most severely affected by warming as climate change advances is important for guiding conservation and management. Both marine and terrestrial fauna have been...

Wealth reallocation and sustainability under climate change
This Perspective links climate change and the distribution of wealth. Using an 'inclusive wealth' framework, it is shown that climate change could dramatically reallocate wealth, with important implications fo...

Lagged social-ecological responses to climate and range shifts in fisheries
While previous research has documented marine fish and invertebrates shifting poleward in response to warming climates, less is known about the response of fisheries to these changes. By examining fisheries in...
