TL;DR: The interactions between climate change and plankton communities are reviewed, focusing on systematic changes in plankton community structure, abundance, distribution and phenology over recent decades, to consider the potential socioeconomic impacts.

TL;DR: Structure per se, rather than the type of structure, appears to be an important determinant of nursery value in seagrass meadows as well as other structured habitats.

TL;DR: Simulations show that predators have higher encounter rates when adopting Lévy-type foraging in natural-like prey fields compared with purely random landscapes, consistent with the hypothesis that observed search patterns are adapted to observed statistical patterns of the landscape.

TL;DR: Maximum-likelihood methods are used to test for Lévy patterns in relation to environmental gradients in the largest animal movement data set assembled for this purpose and results are consistent with the LÉvy-flight foraging hypothesis, supporting the contention that organism search strategies naturally evolved in such a way that they exploit optimal Lé Ivy patterns.

TL;DR: Mounting evidence suggests that the structure of pelagic ecosystems can change rapidly from one that is dominated by fish to a less desirable gelatinous state, with lasting ecological, economic and social consequences.
