The last interglacial in the northern North Atlantic and adjacent areas: evidence for a more zonal climate than during the Holocene [PDF]
, 2011 We document climate conditions from the last interglacial optimum (LIO) or marine isotope stage 5e (MIS 5e) from terrestrial and oceanic sedimentary archives.

Ecography, EarlyView.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 ...

The Arctic Ocean is a net sink for anthropogenic lead deposited into the Atlantic Ocean
Nature CommunicationsHumans emitted millions of tons of the toxic element lead (Pb) into the atmosphere. The North Atlantic Ocean has been strongly affected by atmospheric Pb deposition, however the role of ocean currents in dispersing the Atlantic dissolved Pb (dPb) burden ...

The effect of trait choice on hybrid species distribution model projections under climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.Species distribution models (SDMs) have been increasingly combined with thermal performance data to enhance their transferability and to provide a physiological explanation for the predicted geographic patterns. Yet, while it is widely acknowledged that thermal sensitivities may vary among biological traits, it remains largely unexplored to what extent

An Atlantic-driven rapid circulation change in the North Pacific Ocean during the late 1990s
Scientific Reports, 2019 Interbasin interactions have been increasingly emphasized in recent years due to their roles in shaping climate trends and the global warming hiatus in the northern hemisphere.

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia
Ecography, EarlyView.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 ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest
Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

More extreme summertime North Atlantic Oscillation under climate change
Communications Earth & EnvironmentExtreme states of the North Atlantic Oscillation in summer can lead to severe weather events such as heatwaves and floods in Europe. But how these extremes evolve in response to climate change remains unexplored.

Extralimital sightings of a gray whale in the western North Atlantic
Endangered Species ResearchGray whales Eschrichtius robustus are High Arctic migrants that primarily inhabit the North Pacific Ocean. Gray whales have been extirpated from the North Atlantic Ocean since at least the middle of the 18th century.
