Rising water temperatures in rivers due to climate change are already having observable
impacts on river ecosystems. Warming water has both direct and indirect impacts on aquatic …

All animals must acquire food to grow, but there is a vast diversity in how different species
and even different individuals approach and achieve this task. Individuals within a species …

Abstract Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) can directly influence survival of marine fishes,
particularly for early life stages, including age-0 juveniles during their residence in coastal …

Body size is a key component of individual fitness and an important factor in the structure
and functioning of populations and ecosystems. Disentangling the effects of environmental …

Of the myriad responses to climate change, an emerging trend is the widespread decrease
in animal body size with warming temperatures. Birds, in particular, have been shown to be …

Decreases in body sizes of animals related to recent climate warming can affect population
persistence and stability. However, direct observations of average sizes over time and their …

Aquatic ectotherms often attain smaller body sizes at higher temperatures. By analysing~
15,000 coastal‐reef fish surveys across a 15° C spatial sea surface temperature (SST) …

Decreased body size is often cited as a major response to ocean warming. Available
evidence, however, questions the actual emergence of shrinking trends and the prevalence …

Globally, marine fish communities are being altered by climate change and human
disturbances. We examined data on global marine fish communities to assess changes in …

Cities, through the generation of urban heat islands, provide a venue for exploring
contemporary convergent evolution to climatic warming. We quantified how repeatable the …
