TLDR
This article synthesized all available studies of the consistency of marine ecological observations with expectations under climate change This yielded a meta-database of 1,735 marine biological responses for which either regional or global climate change was considered as a driver.Abstract:
Research that combines all available studies of biological responses to regional and global climate change shows that 81–83% of all observations were consistent with the expected impacts of climate change These findings were replicated across taxa and oceanic basins Past meta-analyses of the response of marine organisms to climate change have examined a limited range of locations1,2, taxonomic groups2,3,4 and/or biological responses5,6 This has precluded a robust overview of the effect of climate change in the global ocean Here, we synthesized all available studies of the consistency of marine ecological observations with expectations under climate change This yielded a meta-database of 1,735 marine biological responses for which either regional or global climate change was considered as a driver Included were instances of marine taxa responding as expected, in a manner inconsistent with expectations, and taxa demonstrating no response From this database, 81–83% of all observations for distribution, phenology, community composition, abundance, demography and calcification across taxa and ocean basins were consistent with the expected impacts of climate change Of the species responding to climate change, rates of distribution shifts were, on average, consistent with those required to track ocean surface temperature changes Conversely, we did not find a relationship between regional shifts in spring phenology and the seasonality of temperature Rates of observed shifts in species’ distributions and phenology are comparable to, or greater, than those for terrestrial systemsread more

When Climate Turns Nasty, What Are Recent and Future Implications? Ecological and Human Health Review of Climate Change Impacts
Ayansina Ayanlade,Consolato Sergi,Paola Di Carlo,Oluwatoyin S. Ayanlade,Damilola Taiye Agbalajobi +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent and future impacts of global climate change on both ecological resources and human well-being is presented, which is based on the general concept of ecological resilience: coping with climate change stresses and disturbances depends on social resilience, political and environmental strategies accessible in a community.

Heat sensitivity of first host and cercariae may restrict parasite transmission in a warming sea

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the response to temperature of the infective larval stage of a trematode, and found that infection by the trematodes rendered the gastropod more susceptible to elevated temperatures representing warm summer events in the region.

Effects of the 2017–2018 winter freeze on the northern limit of the American mangroves, Mississippi River delta plain
Marcelo Cancela Lisboa Cohen,Adriana V. de Souza,Kam-biu Liu,Erika Rodrigues,Qiang Yao,Junghyung Ryu,Marianne Dietz,Luiz Carlos Ruiz Pessenda,Dilce de Fátima Rossetti +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the 2017-2018 winter freeze impacts on mangroves of Bay Champagne, Louisiana, USA, where trees of low height (1-1.5"m) and density between 1000 and 10,000"trees/ha were present mainly on topographically lower tidal flats (13-26"cm above mean sea-level).

A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems
Camille Parmesan,Gary W. Yohe +1 more
TL;DR: A diagnostic fingerprint of temporal and spatial ‘sign-switching’ responses uniquely predicted by twentieth century climate trends is defined and generates ‘very high confidence’ (as laid down by the IPCC) that climate change is already affecting living systems.

Fingerprints of global warming on wild animals and plants

TL;DR: A consistent temperature-related shift is revealed in species ranging from molluscs to mammals and from grasses to trees, suggesting that a significant impact of global warming is already discernible in animal and plant populations.

Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming
TL;DR: A meta-analysis shows that species are shifting their distributions in response to climate change at an accelerating rate, and that the range shift of each species depends on multiple internal species traits and external drivers of change.
