Three decades of high-resolution coastal sea surface temperatures reveal more than warming

TL;DR: It is shown that despite the fact that 71% of the world's coastlines are significantly warming, rates of change have been highly heterogeneous both spatially and seasonally, which makes it possible to analyse local patterns within the global context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do distributional shifts of northern and southern species of algae match the warming pattern

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the direction and intensity of distribution changes of macroalgae in the area of the Portuguese coast during the last 50-year trend of coastal air and sea temperature, providing an accurate estimate of the warming process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response of intertidal populations to climate: Effects of extreme events versus long term change

TL;DR: Metapopulation models of future distribution indicate that a regime shift will occur in northern Europe as southern species like Diopatra are able to invade the English Channel and from there enter the North Sea, and confirm the view that biogeographic change is punctuated by population responses to extreme events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rising environmental temperatures and biogeography: poleward range contraction of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis L., in the western Atlantic

TL;DR: Along the southern portion of its range, intertidal populations of M. edulis have experienced catastrophic mortality directly associated with summer high temperatures, and over the past 50 years, a geographic contraction of the southern, equatorward range edge of the blue mussel has occurred.
