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

Thermal Range and Physiological Tolerance Mechanisms in Two Shark Species from the Northwest Atlantic.
TL;DR: The results show that S. acanthias can be found in this region year-round and co-occurs with M. canis from June to November, and these species display differences in their thermal tolerance and stress response with experimental exposure to 21 °C, a common summer temperature in Narragansett Bay.

SDSim: A generalized user friendly web ABM system to simulate spatiotemporal distribution of species under environmental scenarios
TL;DR: The agent-based modelling system of spatial distribution of species (SDSim) as discussed by the authors is an agentbased modeling system designed to simulate spatial distribution and populations for conservation and management purposes.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the effectiveness of the Palmyra-Kingman MPA and PRIMNM in protecting nine highly-mobile marine species in the tropics now and into the future by evaluating current range overlap within a LSMPA; evaluating range overlap under climate change projections; and evaluating how well theoretical MPA designs benefit these nine species.

Forecasted Shifts in Thermal Habitat for Cod Species in the Northwest Atlantic and Eastern Canadian Arctic
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied CMIP5 ocean temperature projections to egg survival and juvenile growth models of three northwest Atlantic coastal species of gadids (Atlantic Cod, Polar cod, and Greenland cod), each with different thermal affinities and life histories.

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.

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.
