Marine heatwaves are shaping the vertical structure of phytoplankton in the global ocean

Communications Earth & Environment
Marine heatwaves, characterized by extremely high ocean temperatures, significantly impact marine ecosystems. To date, the vertical structure of phytoplankton responses to marine heatwaves remains poorly understood.

No way back: decadal lack of functional recovery of a coralligenous community in a warming Mediterranean

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic disturbances are degrading nature at a rate that exceeds its capacity to recover. While considerable research has focused on understanding ecosystem impacts, recovery processes remain comparatively overlooked, particularly in marine ecosystems, where long‐term data on how highly complex systems respond to disturbances are scarce.

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...

Heatwaves cause relative fitness decline in aquatic insects by altering life history and host–pathogen relationships

Ecosphere
Extreme climatic events are linked to an increase in emergent diseases. Such increases depend on the relationships between environmental conditions and host–parasite dynamics.

Marine heatwaves

, 2020
Ocean temperature variability is a fundamental component of the Earth's climate system, and extremes in this variability affect the health of marine ecosystems around the world.

Ecosystem engineers and functional dominance: when species loss matters for ecosystem function

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding when and why species loss affects community function in natural communities remains an open question in ecology. Recent cross‐system analyses have shown that functional dominance is associated with whether species loss matters: in communities dominated by few high‐performing species, lost species contribute little to function.

Climate‐driven intraspecific shifts in seed germination phenology: Consequences for native temperate woodland restoration and regeneration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change alters seasonal patterns, temperate tree populations face a growing risk of phenological mismatch, where seed dispersal and germination no longer align with favourable conditions for survival. This study predicted how warming by the end of the century will affect seed dormancy breaking and germination in populations of three UK tree ...

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Can plankton cope with marine heatwaves? Lessons from a tiny crustacean

Marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent as the ocean warms, but their effects are not limited to large or charismatic organisms. This study looks at how a tiny but ecologically crucial planktonic crustacean, the copepod Paracartia grani, responds ...

The physical and synoptic‐dynamical differences between warm days, hot days, and heatwaves during summer in Victoria, Australia

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
During the day, there is composite mean cold advection in the boundary layer on warm days (WDs), hot days (HDs) and heatwaves (HWs). There is weaker surface‐sensible heating on HDs and HWs. A nocturnal jet advects warm air on HDs and HWs. There is a strong and slow‐moving upper‐level anticyclone on HWs.
