In the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures acting on Earth system, urgent actions are needed to guarantee efficient resource management and sustainable development for our growing human population. Our oceans - largest underexplored component system potentially home a large number new resources, which can directly impact upon food security wellbeing humanity. However, extraction these resources has repercussions biodiversity ability sequester green house gases thereby climate. search...
Abstract Ocean warming can modify the ecophysiology and distribution of marine organisms, relationships between species, with nonlinear interactions ecosystem components potentially resulting in trophic amplification. Trophic amplification (or attenuation) describe propagation a hydroclimatic signal up food web, causing magnification depression) biomass values along one or more pathways. We have employed 3‐D coupled physical‐biogeochemical models to explore responses climate change focus on...
Abstract Ocean warming and acidification, decreases in dissolved oxygen concentrations, changes primary production are causing an unprecedented global redistribution of marine life. The identification underlying ecological processes underpinning species turnover, particularly the prevalence increases warm-water or declines cold-water species, has been recently debated context ocean warming. Here, we track mean thermal affinity communities across European seas by calculating Community...
Here we present a new, pan-Atlantic compilation and analysis of data on Calanus finmarchicus abundance, demography, dormancy, egg production mortality in relation to basin-scale patterns temperature, phytoplankton biomass, circulation other environmental characteristics the context understanding factors determining distribution abundance C. across its North Atlantic habitat. A number themes emerge: (1) south-to-north transport plankton northeast contrasts with north-to-south western...
Abstract Global patterns of planktonic diversity are mainly determined by the dispersal propagules with ocean currents. However, role that abundance and body size play in determining spatial remains unclear. Here we analyse community structure - β-diversity for several nektonic organisms from prokaryotes to small mesopelagic fishes collected during Malaspina 2010 Expedition. was compared surface transit times derived a global circulation model, revealing significant negative relationship is...
Abstract Tuna are globally distributed species of major commercial importance and some tuna a source protein in many countries. characterized by dynamic distribution patterns that respond to climate variability long‐term change. Here, we investigated the effect environmental conditions on worldwide relative abundance six between 1958 2004 estimated expected end‐of‐the‐century changes based high‐greenhouse gas concentration scenario ( RCP 8.5). We created models using Japanese longline...
The European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) seeks to achieve, for all seas, “Good Environmental Status” (GEnS), by 2020. Ecological models are currently one of the strongest approaches used predicting and understanding consequences anthropogenic climate-driven changes in natural environment. We assess most commonly capabilities modelling community provide information about indicators outlined MSFD, particularly on biodiversity, food webs, non-indigenous species seafloor...
Changes in fish distribution are being observed across the globe. In Europe's Common Fisheries Policy, share of catch each stock is split among management areas using a fixed allocation key known as ‘Relative Stability’: area, member states get same proportion total year. That largely based on catches made by those 1970s. can, therefore, result mismatch between quota shares and regional abundances within areas, with potential repercussions for status stocks fisheries that depend them....
Selection of microorganisms in marine sediment is shaped by energy-yielding electron acceptors for respiration that are depleted vertical succession. However, some taxa have been reported to reflect past depositional conditions suggesting they experienced weak selection after burial. In sediments underlying the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ), we performed first metagenomic profiling sedimentary DNA at centennial-scale resolution context a multi-proxy paleoclimate reconstruction. While...
Abstract Aim Recent studies have suggested that global diatom distributions are not limited by dispersal, in the case of both extant species and fossil species, but rather environmental filtering explains their spatial patterns. Hubbell's neutral theory biodiversity provides a framework which to test these alternatives. Our aim is whether structure marine phytoplankton (diatoms, dinoflagellates coccolithophores) assemblages across A tlantic agrees with predictions. We asked: (1) intersite...

North-east Atlantic mackerel spawning distribution has shifted northward in the last three decades probably response to global sea warming. Yet, uncertainties subsist regarding on shift rate, causalities, and how this species will respond future conditions. Using egg surveys, we explored influence of temperature change mackerel's (western southern components stock) between 1992 2013, projected it may under climate scenarios. We developed generalized additive models: (i) a spatiotemporal...
