Spring–Summer Caribbean Sea marine heatwaves tied to previous Winter Indian Ocean marine heatwaves [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMarine heatwaves can interact across ocean basins through atmospheric teleconnections, but such inter-basin links remain poorly understood. Here we show that boreal spring and summer marine heatwaves in the Caribbean Sea are significantly connected to ...

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates. [PDF]
J Anim EcolAcross 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

Ocean dynamics shape marine heatwaves and their predictability [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMarine heatwaves have become more frequent and intense under anthropogenic warming, posing increasing threats to marine ecosystems and coastal societies, necessitating a better understanding of their mechanism and predictability.

Projecting Impacts of Marine Heatwaves and Their Effects on Long-Term Changes in Marine Ecosystems Over the 21st Century. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolIn this study, we used a global biomass flow modelling framework to quantify the specific impact of MHWs by comparing simulations with and without MHWs under different marine community resistance scenarios, focusing on α = 0.2. We analysed biomass changes relative to the 1995–2014 reference period and considered two baseline assumptions (fixed vs ...

Macroalgal community transformation during successive marine heatwaves in southern California kelp forests [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentUnderstanding the acute and longer-term effects of marine heatwaves on coastal ecosystems is critical for predicting their response to future warming. We used a 23-year time series that included two marine heatwaves (the 2014–2015 “warm blob” and 2018 ...

Bottom marine heatwaves along the continental shelves of North America
Nature Communications, 2023 The authors investigate marine heatwaves on the ocean bottom in the shallow waters surrounding North America. Relative to their surface counterparts, bottom marine heatwaves are often more intense, more persistent, and can occur independently.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 During recent years, experimental ecology started to focus on regional to local environmental fluctuations in the context of global climate change. Among these, marine heatwaves can pose significant threats to marine organisms.

Keeping pace with marine heatwaves [PDF]
, 2020 Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged extreme oceanic warm water events. They can have devastating impacts on marine ecosystems — for example, causing mass coral bleaching and substantial declines in kelp forests and seagrass meadows — with implications ...

Strong marine heatwaves trigger flowering in seagrass [PDF]
In recent decades, the global intensification of marine heatwaves has impacted several ecosystems and species, including the endemic Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica.
