TL;DR: The relationship between temperature and individual performance is reasonably well understood, and much climate-related research has focused on potential shifts in distribution and abundance driven directly by temperature as discussed by the authors, however, recent work has revealed that both abiotic changes and biological responses in the ocean will be substantially more complex.
SYNTHESES The impacts of climate change in coastal marine systems

TL;DR: Key directions for future research include identifying key demographic transitions that influence population dynamics, predicting changes in the community-level impacts of ecologically dominant species, incorporating populations' ability to evolve (adapt), and understanding the scales over which climate will change and living systems will respond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased temperature variation poses a greater risk to species than climate warming
David A. Vasseur,John P. DeLong,Benjamin Gilbert,Hamish S. Greig,Hamish S. Greig,Christopher D. G. Harley,Kevin S. McCann,Van M. Savage,Van M. Savage,Tyler D. Tunney,Mary I. O'Connor +10 more
TL;DR: This work couple fine-grained climate projections to thermal performance data from 38 ectothermic invertebrate species and contrast projections with those of a simple model to show that projections based on mean temperature change alone differ substantially from those incorporating changes to the variation, and to the mean and variation in concert.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Change and Latitudinal Patterns of Intertidal Thermal Stress
Brian Helmuth,Christopher D. G. Harley,Christopher D. G. Harley,Patricia M. Halpin,Patricia M. Halpin,Michael P. O'Donnell,Gretchen E. Hofmann,Carol A. Blanchette +7 more
TL;DR: Climate change may not lead to a poleward shift in the distribution of intertidal organisms, but instead will likely cause localized extinctions at a series of “hot spots” at several northern sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of climate change on global seaweed communities
Christopher D. G. Harley,Kathryn Anderson,Kyle W. Demes,Jennifer P. Jorve,Rebecca L. Kordas,Theraesa A. Coyle,Michael H. Graham +6 more
TL;DR: The ways in which changes in the environment directly affect seaweeds in terms of their physiology, growth, reproduction, and survival are described, and the extent to which seaweed species may be able to respond to these changes via adaptation or migration is considered.
