TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the potential effect of climate change on the distribution and diversity of marine top predators and found that, based on data from electronic tags on 23 marine species, a change in core habitat range of up to 35% is possible for some species by 2100.Abstract:
Climate change scenarios predict an average sea surface temperature rise of 1–6 °C by 2100. Now, a study investigating the potential effect of these changes on the distribution and diversity of marine top predators finds that, based on data from electronic tags on 23 marine species, a change in core habitat range of up to 35% is possible for some species by 2100.read more

TL;DR: The authors' multivariate analyses showed that there were significant differences in aggregate fish movement responses to warm temperatures across subregions but not among species or sizes, and future climate studies would benefit by considering fish distributions on small subregional scales.

Wintering North Pacific black-legged kittiwakes balance spatial flexibility and consistency

TL;DR: Although individuals returned to wintering areas in consecutive years, the results suggest that under current conditions individual black-legged kittiwakes have a high capacity to alter winter distributions.

TL;DR: It is shown how a species distribution model can provide broadscale information on the distribution of female California sea lions during an important life history stage and its implications for population dynamics and spatial management.

Temporal niche partitioning as a novel mechanism promoting co-existence of sympatric predators in marine systems.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used acceleration data-loggers to investigate temporal partitioning in a guild of marine predators, and found that six species of co-occurring large coastal sharks demonstrated distinct diel patterns of activity.

TL;DR: For example, during the 2014-2016 North Pacific marine heatwave, unprecedented sightings of juvenile white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) emerged in central California These records contradicted the species established life history, where juveniles remain in warmer waters in the southern California Current as discussed by the authors.

Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change
TL;DR: Range-restricted species, particularly polar and mountaintop species, show severe range contractions and have been the first groups in which entire species have gone extinct due to recent climate change.

TL;DR: Estimates of extinction risks for sample regions that cover some 20% of the Earth's terrestrial surface show the importance of rapid implementation of technologies to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and strategies for carbon sequestration.

Species Distribution Models: Ecological Explanation and Prediction Across Space and Time
Jane Elith,John R. Leathwick +1 more
TL;DR: Species distribution models (SDMs) as mentioned in this paper are numerical tools that combine observations of species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates, and are used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict distributions across landscapes, sometimes requiring extrapolation in space and time.

TL;DR: This empirical work supports long-standing theory about the role of top-down forcing in ecosystems but also highlights the unanticipated impacts of trophic cascades on processes as diverse as the dynamics of disease, wildfire, carbon sequestration, invasive species, and biogeochemical cycles.

Climate change affects marine fishes through the oxygen limitation of thermal tolerance.

TL;DR: It is shown in the eelpout, Zoarces viviparus, a bioindicator fish species for environmental monitoring from North and Baltic Seas, that thermally limited oxygen delivery closely matches environmental temperatures beyond which growth performance and abundance decrease, which will be the first process to cause extinction or relocation to cooler waters.
