Connectivity and Population Structure in a Marginal Sea—A Review
ABSTRACT Aim The current biodiversity crisis calls for conservation measures that limit or reduce the negative human impact on key habitats and vulnerable wild populations. To effectively protect biodiversity at all levels, including intra‐specific diversity, conservation measures should, ideally, be aligned with the connectivity and genetic structure ...

Abstract Land and ocean ecosystems are strongly connected and mutually interactive. As climate changes and other anthropogenic stressors intensify, the complex pathways that link these systems will strengthen or weaken in ways that are currently beyond reliable prediction.

Predicting population‐level impacts of projected climate heating on a temperate freshwater fish
Abstract Climate heating has the potential to drive changes in ecosystems at multiple levels of biological organization. Temperature directly affects the inherent physiology of plants and animals, resulting in changes in rates of photosynthesis and respiration, and trophic interactions.

Long‐term changes in taxonomic and functional composition of European marine fish communities
Evidence of large‐scale biodiversity degradation in marine ecosystems has been reported worldwide, yet most research has focused on few species of interest or on limited spatiotemporal scales. Here we assessed the spatial and temporal changes in the taxonomic and functional composition of fish communities in European seas over the last 25 years (1994 ...

The distribution of global tidal marshes from Earth observation data
Abstract Aim Tidal marsh ecosystems are heavily impacted by human activities, highlighting a pressing need to address gaps in our knowledge of their distribution. To better understand the global distribution and changes in tidal marsh extent, and identify opportunities for their conservation and restoration, it is critical to develop a spatial ...

Kelp forest diversity under projected end‐of‐century climate change
Abstract Aim Future climate change threatens marine forests across the world, potentially disrupting ecosystem function and services. Nonetheless, the direction and intensity of climate‐induced changes in kelp forest biodiversity remain unknown, precluding well‐informed conservation and management practices. Location Global.

The probability of a successful marine bioinvasion is affected by the likelihood that a potentially invasive marine species entrained in a transport vector (e.g., cargo ships) will survive the voyage between origin and destination locations, and establish an independently reproducing population at the destination.

Global patterns and environmental drivers of forest functional composition
Abstract Aim To determine the relationships between the functional trait composition of forest communities and environmental gradients across scales and biomes and the role of species relative abundances in these relationships. Location Global. Time period Recent. Major taxa studied Trees.

Abstract Larger and older fish contribute disproportionately to spawning and play an important role in the replenishment of exploited stocks. Fishing often removes specific size‐ and age‐classes, with direct impacts on stock productivity and population resilience.
