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: In this article, the authors provide information on an ephemeral but important habitat for North Pacific loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) at the northeastern edge of their range, based on two aerial surveys (2011, 2015), at-sea sightings, and stranding records.

Obstacles and Opportunities of Using a Mobile App for Marine Mammal Research
TL;DR: The use of a mobile application, Whale mAPP, as a citizen science tool for collecting marine mammal sighting data and improvements in marine mammal identification skills and self-initiated further learning are highlighted, representing preliminary steps in developing an engaging citizen science project.

Projected shifts in loggerhead sea turtle thermal habitat in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean due to climate change
Samir H. Patel,Megan V. Winton,Joshua M. Hatch,Heather L. Haas,Vincent S. Saba,Gavin Fay,Ronald J. Smolowitz +6 more
TL;DR: A high-resolution global climate model and large satellite tagging dataset are used to project changes in the future distribution of suitable thermal habitat for loggerheads along the northeastern continental shelf of the United States and suggest that loggerhead thermal habitat and seasonal duration will likely increase in northern regions of the NW Atlantic shelf.

Integrating habitat and partial survey data to estimate the regional population of a globally declining seabird species, the sooty shearwater
T. J. Clark,Jason Matthiopoulos,Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Lebrun,Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Lebrun,Letizia Campioni,Paulo Catry,Ilaria Marengo,Sally Poncet,Ewan D. Wakefield +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate that breeding sooty shearwaters occupy ∼140,000 (95% CI: 90,000-210,000) burrows on Kidney Island, and using additional survey data and generalized functional response models to account for intra-island variation in habitat availability, they estimate that 25,000 -30,500 burrows could be occupied on nearby islands from which non-native rodents have been recently eradicated.

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.
