Connectivity and Population Structure in a Marginal Sea—A Review

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
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 ...

Advancing an integrated understanding of land–ocean connections in shaping the marine ecosystems of coastal temperate rainforest ecoregions

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 12, Page 3061-3096, December 2024.
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

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 1715-1723, December 2024.
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

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2024, Issue 9, September 2024.
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

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2024.
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

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 6, June 2024.
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.

Quantifying the probability of a successful marine bioinvasion due to source‐destination risk factors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
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

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 303-324, February 2024.
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.

Including older fish in fisheries management: A new age‐based indicator and reference point for exploited fish stocks

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 18-37, January 2024.
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.
