Beyond long-term averages: making biological sense of a rapidly changing world (2014, background): “Although organisms may have the metabolic plasticity to acclimate to small changes in temperature, one extreme event, even lasting one or several days, can cause significant mortality within populations [11].”
Geographic Variation in Temperature Tolerance as an Indicator of Potential Population Responses to Climate Change (2011, background): “However, such a change in distribution has not been seen forM. edulis along the eastern Atlantic (Wethey et al., 2011-this volume), which could be due to the fact that temperature tolerances in northern France are much higher than those on the USA east coast.”
Defining and observing stages of climate-mediated range shifts in marine systems (2014, background): “…in cases where species range boundaries are at equilibrium with climate, edge populations may be demographically unstable, displaying highly variable survival and reproduction rates due to natural climate oscillations and frequent exposure to extreme environmental factors (Wethey et al., 2011).”
Causes of warm‐edge range limits: systematic review, proximate factors and implications for climate change (2014, background): “Range contractions suggest that species are undergoing local extinction at these warm edges, especially for sessile organisms (e.g. Hickling et al., 2005; Perry et al., 2005; Parmesan, 2006; Jones et al., 2009, 2010, 2012; Thomas, 2010; Chen et al., 2011; Wethey et al., 2011).”
Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches to Forecasting Species' Responses to Climate Change (2012, background): “Historical records reveal that the southern range limit of some European intertidal species are more constrained by long-term energy budgets than by direct thermal stress (Wethey et al. 2011).”
Air temperature and winter mortality: Implications for the persistence of the invasive mussel, Perna viridis in the intertidal zone of the south-eastern United States (2011, background): “Prolonged cold outbreaks can have a severe detrimental effect on marine organisms, particularly those occurring in the intertidal zone (Crisp 1964; Wethey et al., 2011).”
Adaptive marine conservation planning in the face of climate change: What can we learn from physiological, ecological and genetic studies? (2019, background): “Several recent studies have pointed to the long-lasting impacts of rare but extreme events in setting distribution limits (Wethey et al., 2011) and in reducing the genetic diversity of populations (Pearson et al.”
