TL;DR: High-resolution sea-surface temperature records and temperature-dependent growth rates of two algae that produce potent biotoxins are used and it is concluded that increasing ocean temperature is an important factor facilitating the intensification of these, and likely other, HABs and thus contributes to an expanding human health threat.

TL;DR: Critical gaps in understanding of HABs as a climate change co-stressor must be addressed in order to develop management plans that adequately protect fisheries, aquaculture, aquatic ecosystems, and human health.

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that the consequences of low oxygen and acidification for early life stage bivalves, and likely other marine organisms, are more severe than would be predicted by either individual stressor and thus must be considered together when assessing how ocean animals respond to these conditions both today and under future climate change scenarios.

TL;DR: The results suggest that clams and scallops are unlikely to acclimate to ocean acidification over short time scales and that as coastal oceans continue to acidify, negative effects on these populations may become compounded and more severe.

TL;DR: Investigation of the interactive effects of increased pCO2, temperature, and food-limitation on the early life history traits of two species of marine schooling fish native to Northeast US estuaries suggests climate change stressors may interact to synergistically suppress the productivity of fisheries in coastal ecosystems.
