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

Differential response to abiotic stress controls species distributions at biogeographic transition zones
TL;DR: The hypothesis that abiotic stress controls high-latitude range limits is supported and robust predictions of the impacts of climate change require approaches that account for various aspects of physiological stress and for species abundances and characteristics.

TL;DR: A framework for improving the management and conservation of transboundary and migrating marine demersal species is established and directions to improve data availability and encourage countries to share survey data are provided to support management adaptation in a time of climate‐driven ocean changes.

Refining and expanding global climate change scenarios in the sea: Poleward creep complexities, range termini, and setbacks and surges
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore several poorly recognized and thus rarely studied aspects of ocean climate change scenarios in order to advance our understanding of finer-grained aspects of poleward movements.

Species on the move around the Australian coastline: a continental-scale review of climate-driven species redistribution in marine systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of a multi-taxon continent-wide review describing observed and predicted species redistribution around the Australian coastline, and highlight critical gaps in knowledge impeding our understanding of, and response to, these considerable changes.

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.

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.
