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

Hot topics in biodiversity and climate change research
Barry W. Brook,Damien A. Fordham +1 more
TL;DR: This paper analyzed directions and biases in the recent most highly cited data papers in this field of research (from 2012 to 2014) and found that the pace of climate-driven habitat change, along with increased frequency of extreme events, is outpacing the capacity of species or ecological communities to respond and adapt.

Planktonic biodiversity hotspots in the open ocean : detection, drivers and implications at the global scale
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify biodiversity hotspots of pelagic primary producers on a global scale and at high resolution, and determine the physical ocean processes that control the spatial and temporal dynamics of such hotspots, focusing on transport-driven mechanisms like dispersion, advection and mixing; study the role of these mechanisms in the structuring of biodiversity at higher trophic levels.
Spatial ecology of a top-order marine predator, the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a statement of candidate contributions and co-author authorisation of a paper by a co-authorship authorisation committee for a research project on co-authorship.
Dissertation
Changing climate and the winter foraging ecology of Antarctic fur seal populations
TL;DR: These findings show that foraging strategies not only vary between individuals, but also can persist over the long-term, and highlights the co-existence of divergent foraging Strategies within a population and how determination of associated trade-offs can facilitate predictions of how strategies might be impacted by future changes to population size or environmental conditions.

Using habitat models to identify marine important bird and biodiversity areas for Chinstrap Penguins Pygoscelis antarcticus in the South Orkney Islands
Maria P. Dias,Victoria Warwick-Evans,Ana P. B. Carneiro,Colin Harris,Ben Lascelles,Harriet L. Clewlow,Harriet L. Clewlow,Fabrizio Manco,Norman Ratcliffe,Philip N. Trathan +9 more
TL;DR: A new method is provided for designating a network of marine IBAs for penguins in Antarctic waters, based on outputs from correlative habitat models when tracking data are not available, which can contribute to an evidence-based and precautionary approach to aid the management framework for Antarctic fisheries and for the protection of birds.

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.
Hans-Otto Pörtner,Rainer Knust +1 more
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.
