The biodiversity of ecosystems worldwide is changing because of species loss due to
human-caused extinctions and species gain through intentional and accidental …

Early naturalists suggested that predation intensity increases toward the tropics, affecting
fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes by latitude, but empirical support is still …

Species that respond to ecosystem change in a timely, measurable, and interpretable way
can be used as sentinels of global change. Contrary to a pervasive view, we suggest that …

Marine ecosystem science has developed since the 1940s, when humans obtained the
ability to spend substantial time underneath the surface of the ocean. Since then, and …

In this review we detail the impact of climate change on marine productivity, on marine
environmental stochasticity and cyclicity, and on the spatio-temporal match–mismatch of …

The ocean plays a crucial role in the functioning of the Earth System and in the provision of
vital goods and services. The United Nations (UN) declared 2021-2030 as the UN Decade …

Marine heatwaves cause widespread environmental, biological, and socio-economic
impacts, placing them at the forefront of 21st-century management challenges. However …

Marine reserves are an emerging management tool, and can serve as examples of the
practical application of basic marine ecology. Although some aspects of reserve science are …

Species-specific differential responses to climate warming that alter phenologies can
dramatically affect community function. Using time series data from a Northwest Atlantic …

Humans are terrestrial animals, and our capacity to see and understand the importance and
vulnerability of life in the sea has trailed our growing ability to harm it. While conservation …
