The prevalence of disease-driven mass mortality events is increasing, but our understanding
of spatial variation in their magnitude, timing and triggers are often poorly resolved. Here, we …

The recent collapse of predatory sunflower sea stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) owing to
sea star wasting disease (SSWD) is hypothesized to have contributed to proliferation of sea …

Mussels occupy a key middle trophic position in nearshore food webs linking primary
producers to predators. Climate‐related environmental changes may synergistically …

Ecosystem function is maintained in part by direct species interactions, but indirect
interactions and non‐consumptive effects may be of equal ecological importance. Along the …

Foundational habitats such as seagrasses and coral reefs are at severe risk globally from
climate warming. Infectious disease associated with warming events is both a cause of …

The incidence of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) has increased in wildlife populations
in recent years and is expected to continue to increase with global environmental change …

A powerful way to predict how ecological communities will respond to future climate change
is to test how they have responded to the climate of the past. We used climate oscillations …

There is increasing awareness that marine invertebrates such as abalones are at risk from
the combined stressors of fishing and climate change. Abalones are an important marine …

Citizen science is growing in importance for ecosystem management and long‐term
monitoring. A large marine citizen‐science project operated by the Reef Environmental …

Wildlife diseases, such as the sea star wasting (SSW) epizootic that outbroke in the mid-
2010s, appear to be associated with acute and/or chronic abiotic environmental change; …
