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.

Land-dependent marine species face climate-driven impacts on land and at sea

TL;DR: In this article , the authors identify commonalities in climate-related threats across taxa and geographic regions, highlighting the specific life history strategies that may be better suited to adapt to the changing climate.

Seasonal Photoacclimation in the North Pacific Transition Zone

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors re-examine the physical and biological drivers of seasonal TZCF variability using a variety of remote sensing, reanalysis, and in situ data sets and demonstrate how the seasonality of light and nutrient fluxes decouple chlorophyll and carbon seasonality at the transition zone latitudes.

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

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.

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.
