Benthic Microalgae Respond More Strongly to Warming and Salinity Than Zooplankton
The effects of multiple simultaneous stressors on different trophic levels are poorly known. Warming changed the composition of both benthic diatom and zooplankton communities, but the interaction of warming and decreasing salinity affected only benthic diatoms. ABSTRACT The effects of elevated temperature are pronounced in high latitudes where warming

Canal Construction Disrupts Camouflage in Two Sympatric Estuarine Crab Species
Estuarine ecosystems provide essential habitats for fiddler crabs, whose survival heavily relies on background‐matching camouflage. Anthropogenic modifications such as canal construction can alter the visual properties of these habitats, yet direct empirical evidence of their impact on crustacean camouflage remains limited.

We describe unusual and mostly unreported morphological traits on colonies of the deep‐water sea pens Ptilella and Pennatula from the Northwest Atlantic, namely the presence of hypertrophied polyps, split polyp leaves, and autozooids budding on the surface of polyp leaves (as opposed to the edges). ABSTRACT Here we describe unusual morphological traits

Ocean warming is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale. Biogeographic transition zones are hotspots of species range shifts, as both warm‐ and cold‐adapted species are found toward contrasting range edges. While anecdotal evidence suggests some distributional shifts have occurred in the northeast Atlantic, the empirical evidence base ...

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...
