Faster ocean warming threatens richest areas of marine biodiversity [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2022 The vulnerability of marine biodiversity to accelerated rates of climatic change is poorly understood. By developing a new method for identifying extreme oceanic warming events during Earth's most recent deglaciation, and comparing these to 21st century ...

The evolutionary dynamics of the early Palaeozoic marine biodiversity accumulation. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2019 The early Palaeozoic Era records the initial biodiversification of the Phanerozoic. The increase in biodiversity involved drastic changes in taxon longevity, and in rates of origination and extinction.

Climate impacts on global hot spots of marine biodiversity
Science Advances, 2017 The main hot spots of marine biodiversity are also the areas that are affected the most by climate and, potentially, fishing impacts. Human activities drive environmental changes at scales that could potentially cause ecosystem collapses in the marine ...
