In 2014–2016 the west coast of North America experienced a marine heatwave that was
unprecedented in the historical record in terms of its duration and intensity. This event was …

Intraspecific genetic variability is critical for species adaptation and evolution and yet it is
generally overlooked in projections of the biological consequences of climate change. We …

Dispersal is generally difficult to directly observe. Instead, dispersal is often inferred from
genetic markers and biophysical modelling where a correspondence indicates that dispersal …

Seascape Ecology provides a comprehensive look at the state-of-the-science in the
application of landscape ecology to the seas and provides guidance for future research …

The paradigm of past climate-driven range shifts structuring the distribution of marine
intraspecific biodiversity lacks replication in biological models exposed to comparable …

Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) is the most widely distributed kelp species on the planet,
