A marine heatwave drives significant shifts in pelagic microbiology
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) cause disruption to marine ecosystems, deleteriously impacting macroflora and fauna. However, effects on microorganisms are...

Fine-scale heterogeneity reveals disproportionate thermal stress and coral mortality in thermally variable reef habitats during a marine heatwave
Increasing ocean temperatures threaten coral reefs globally, but corals residing in habitats that experience high thermal variability are thought to...

Regime shifts in rocky intertidal communities associated with a marine heatwave and disease outbreak
Long-term, large-scale experimental studies provide critical information about how global change influences communities. When environmental changes...

Heatwave implications for the future of longleaf pine savanna understory restoration
The longleaf pine (LLP) savanna ecosystem once covered ~ 92 million acres of the Southeast USA, but due to anthropogenic activities such as logging...

The Blob marine heatwave transforms California kelp forest ecosystems
Ocean warming has both direct physiological and indirect ecological consequences for marine organisms. Sessile animals may be particularly vulnerable...

Marine Heatwave Caused Differentiated Dysbiosis in Photosymbiont Assemblages of Corals and Hydrocorals During El Niño 2015/2016
Reef corals have been threatened by climate change, with more frequent and intense bleaching events leading to extensive coral mortality and loss of...

Sharp decline in humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) survival and reproductive success in southeastern Alaska during and after the 2014–2016 Northeast Pacific marine heatwave
Understanding the ecosystem effects of ocean warming is increasingly important as marine heatwaves become more common and increase in severity. Here,...

Heatwave predicts a shady future for insects: impacts of an extreme weather event on a chalk grassland in Bedfordshire, UK
Climate change is set to become one of the leading causes of biodiversity loss worldwide, with extreme weather events projected to increase in...

Heatwave frequency and seedling death alter stress-specific emissions of volatile organic compounds in Aleppo pine
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) play important roles in plant stress responses and can serve as stress indicators. While the impacts of...

Egg retention of high-latitude sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Pilgrim River, Alaska, during the Pacific marine heatwave of 2014–2016
Ocean and freshwater conditions can influence spawning success of Pacific salmon ( Oncorhynchus spp.) by governing the energy content of fish at the...

Different responses of massive and branching corals to a major heatwave at the largest and richest reef complex in South Atlantic
In 2019, a major coral bleaching event affected reefs worldwide, including marginal reefs within the Abrolhos Bank (16°40′–19°40′S, 39°10′–37°20′W),...

Marine Heatwave Drives Collapse of Kelp Forests in Western Australia
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are discrete, unusually warm-water events which can have devastating ecological impacts. In 2011, Western Australia...

No coral recovery three years after a major bleaching event in reefs in the Southwestern Atlantic refugium
Mass bleaching events are growing in duration and intensity. Besides causing extensive mortality, the progressively shorter time between events...
