Using a large-scale fishery dataset in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, we show a pervasive pattern of increased pelagic predator catch inside anticyclonic eddies relative to cyclones and non-eddy areas.
The Pacific Islands Vulnerability Assessment (PIVA) project assessed the susceptibility of 83 marine species to the impacts of climate change projected to 2055.
Highlighting the role that coral mortality mapping, rather than bleaching monitoring, can play for targeted conservation that protects more surviving corals in our changing climate.
We review the literature to address past predictions, observed impacts, current research and conservation imperatives concerning the impact of of climate change on marine mammals.
The different responses of anchovy to changing climate in the California Current domain show the benefit of the present approach to find how anchovy may respond under future ecosystem conditions.
We find that the combined pressures of ocean-warming and acidification, produces changes in the abundance but not in the occurrence of coral reef biodiversity.
