Thresholds of hypoxia for marine biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Hypoxia is a mounting problem affecting the world's coastal waters, with severe consequences for marine life, including death and catastrophic changes. Hypoxia is forecast to increase owing to the combined effects of the continued spread of coastal eutrophication and global warming.

Hotspots of Cenozoic Tropical Marine Biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Hotspots of tropical marine biodiversity are areas that harbour disproportionately large numbers of species compared to surrounding regions. The richness and location of these hotspots have changed throughout the Cenozoic. Here, we review the global dynamics of Cenozoic tropical marine biodiversity hotspots, including the four major hotspots of the ...
