TLDR
In this paper, the authors studied changes in marine communities in southwest Britain and the western English Channel during the past 70 years and found that the distribution of both plankton and intertidal organisms was affected, with latitudinal shifts of up to 120 miles; there were increases or decreases of 2-3 orders of magnitude in abundance.

A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems

TL;DR: A diagnostic fingerprint of temporal and spatial ‘sign-switching’ responses uniquely predicted by twentieth century climate trends is defined and generates ‘very high confidence’ (as laid down by the IPCC) that climate change is already affecting living systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological responses to recent climate change.

TL;DR: A review of the ecological impacts of recent climate change exposes a coherent pattern of ecological change across systems, from polar terrestrial to tropical marine environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Projecting global marine biodiversity impacts under climate change scenarios

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the global patterns of such impacts by projecting the distributional ranges of a sample of 1066 exploited marine fish and invertebrates for 2050 using a newly developed dynamic bioclimate envelope model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate variations and the physiological basis of temperature dependent biogeography: systemic to molecular hierarchy of thermal tolerance in animals.

TL;DR: The present study suggests that the capacity of oxygen delivery is set to a level just sufficient to meet maximum oxygen demand between the average highs and lows of environmental temperatures.

Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages

TL;DR: It is concluded that changes in the earth's orbital geometry are the fundamental cause of the succession of Quaternary ice ages and a model of future climate based on the observed orbital-climate relationships, but ignoring anthropogenic effects, predicts that the long-term trend over the next sevem thousand years is toward extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation.

Correlations between climate records from North Atlantic sediments and Greenland ice

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present records of sea surface temperature from North Atlantic sediments spanning the past 90 kyr which contain a series of rapid temperature oscillations closely matching those in the ice-core record, confirming predictions that the ocean must bear the imprint of the Dansgaard-Oeschger events.

An oscillation in the global climate system of period 65–70 years

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply singular spectrum analysis to four global-mean surface temperature records and identify a temperature oscillation with a period of 65-70 years over the North Atlantic Ocean and its bounding Northern Hemisphere continents.

Abrupt deep-sea warming, palaeoceanographic changes and benthic extinctions at the end of the Palaeocene

TL;DR: A remarkable oxygen and carbon isotope excursion occurred in Antarctic waters near the end of the Palaeocene (~57.33 Myr ago), indicating rapid global warming and oceanographic changes that caused one of the largest deep-sea benthic extinctions of the past 90 million years.
