TLDR
Metapopulation models of future distribution indicate that a regime shift will occur in northern Europe as southern species like Diopatra are able to invade the English Channel and from there enter the North Sea, and confirm the view that biogeographic change is punctuated by population responses to extreme events.About:

Abigail E. Cahill,Matthew E. Aiello-Lammens,M. Caitlin Fisher-Reid,Xia Hua,Caitlin J. Karanewsky,Hae Yeong Ryu,Gena C. Sbeglia,Fabrizio Spagnolo,John B. Waldron,Omar Warsi,John J. Wiens +10 more
TL;DR: The proximate causes of climate-change related extinctions and their empirical support are reviewed to support the idea that changing species interactions are an important cause of documented population declines and extinctions related to climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review evidence for the responses of marine life to recent climate change across ocean regions, from tropical seas to polar oceans, and find that general trends in species responses are consistent with expectations from climate change, including poleward and deeper distributional shifts, advances in spring phenology, declines in calcification and increases in the abundance of warm water species.

Multiple Stressors in a Changing World: The Need for an Improved Perspective on Physiological Responses to the Dynamic Marine Environment
TL;DR: The find that multi-stressor experiments have rarely incorporated naturalistic physicochemical variation into their designs, and the importance of doing so to make ecologically relevant inferences about physiological responses to global change is emphasized.

Three decades of high-resolution coastal sea surface temperatures reveal more than warming
Fernando P. Lima,David S. Wethey +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that despite the fact that 71% of the world's coastlines are significantly warming, rates of change have been highly heterogeneous both spatially and seasonally, which makes it possible to analyse local patterns within the global context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme climatic event drives range contraction of a habitat-forming species
TL;DR: It is shown that extreme warming events, which are increasing in magnitude and frequency, can force step-wise changes in species distributions in marine ecosystems and return times of these events have major implications for projections of species distributions and ecosystem structure, which have typically been based on gradual warming trends.

Global analyses of sea surface temperature, sea ice, and night marine air temperature since the late nineteenth century
Nick Rayner,David E. Parker,E. B. Horton,Chris K. Folland,Lisa V. Alexander,David P. Rowell,Elizabeth C. Kent,Alexey Kaplan +7 more
TL;DR: HadISST1 as mentioned in this paper replaces the global sea ice and sea surface temperature (GISST) data sets and is a unique combination of monthly globally complete fields of SST and sea ice concentration on a 1° latitude-longitude grid from 1871.

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.

Distance to Nearest Neighbor as a Measure of Spatial Relationships in Populations
Philip J. Clark,Francis C. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the vulnerability of several species to trapping on the islands and found that the islands appeared to lag behind the mainland in the development of their populations and the populations of small mammals fluctuate quite widely and the several populations appear to be somewhat independent of each other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global temperature change.
TL;DR: Comparison of measured sea surface temperatures in the Western Pacific with paleoclimate data suggests that this critical ocean region is approximately as warm now as at the Holocene maximum and within ≈1°C of the maximum temperature of the past million years.
