Climatic extremes are becoming increasingly common against a background trend of global
warming. In the oceans, marine heatwaves (MHWs)—discrete periods of anomalously warm …

Because of its profound effects on the rates of biological processes such as aerobic
metabolism, environmental temperature plays an important role in shaping the distribution …

Over the past decades, three major challenges to marine life have emerged as a
consequence of anthropogenic emissions: ocean warming, acidification and oxygen loss …

Modern coexistence theory and contemporary niche theory represent parallel frameworks
for understanding the niche's role in species coexistence. Despite increasing prominence …

Temperature and nutrient availability play key roles in controlling the pathways and rates at
which energy and materials move through ecosystems. These factors have also changed …

As human activities intensify, the structures of ecosystems and their food webs often
reorganize. Through the study of mesocosms harboring a diverse benthic coastal …

According to the temperature‐size rule, warming of aquatic ecosystems is generally
predicted to increase individual growth rates but reduce asymptotic body sizes of …

All animals on Earth compete for free energy, which is acquired, assimilated, and ultimately
allocated to growth and reproduction. Competition is strongest within communities of …

Marine ecosystems are increasingly impacted by global environmental changes, including
warming temperatures, deoxygenation, and ocean acidification. Marine scientists recognize …

Conflicting results remain on the impacts of climate change on marine organisms, hindering
our capacity to predict the future state of marine ecosystems. To account for species-specific …
