Accurately forecasting the response of global biota to warming is a fundamental challenge
for ecology in the Anthropocene. Within-species variation in thermal sensitivity, caused by …

Ecklonia radiata is one of the most widespread kelps globally, dominating temperate reefs
throughout much of Australasia and southeastern Africa. Throughout much of its range, it is …

Kelp forests define> 8000km of temperate coastline across southern Australia, where~ 70%
of Australians live, work and recreate. Despite this, public and political awareness of the …

Genetic diversity confers adaptive capacity to populations under changing conditions but its
role in mediating impacts of climate change remains unresolved for most ecosystems. This …

Ecological interactions are not uniform across time and can vary with environmental
conditions. Yet, interactions among species are often measured with short-term controlled …

Habitat-forming species sustain biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in harsh
environments through the amelioration of physical stress. Nonetheless, their role in shaping …

Rear (warm) edge populations are often considered more susceptible to warming than
central (cool) populations because of the warmer ambient temperatures they experience, but …

Vertical migration to reach cooler waters is a suitable strategy for some marine organisms to
adapt to ocean warming. Here, we calculate that realized vertical isotherm migration rates …

Shifts in competitive balance between key functional groups may drive regime shifts in
tropical and temperate marine ecosystems. On shallow reefs, regime shifts increasingly …

Habitat forming 'ecosystem engineers' such as kelp species create complex habitats that
support biodiverse and productive communities. Studies of the resilience and stability of …
