TL;DR: Paleoecological, archaeological, and historical data show that time lags of decades to centuries occurred between the onset of overfishing and consequent changes in ecological communities, because unfished species of similar trophic level assumed the ecological roles of over-fished species until they too were overfished or died of epidemic diseases related to overcrowding as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A deep-sea sediment core underlying the Benguela upwelling system off southwest Africa provides a continuous time series of sea surface temperature (SST) for the past 4.5 million years, indicating that temperatures in the region have declined by about 10 degrees C since 3.2 million years ago.

TL;DR: In this article, a reorientation of thinking on diatom ecology and palaeoecology may be required, and the results of this study suggest that a re-orientation is needed.

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical and horizontal extension of the oxygen minimum zone (600m) off Peru between 5 and 13°S and to about 1000 km offshore were evaluated with high resolution data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, high-resolution profiles and bottle casts.

TL;DR: In the Humboldt Current System (HCS), biological and non-biological components, ecosystem processes, and fisheries are known to be affected by multi-decadal, inter-annual, annual, and intra-seasonal scales as mentioned in this paper.
