Increasing ocean temperatures allow tropical fishes to survive overwinter in temperate waters (2010, background): “Increasing temperatures will enhance larval growth, thus reducing larval durations (O’Connor et al., 2007; Munday et al., 2008) but are also likely to alter ocean currents in a manner that may enhance or retard dispersal depending on location (Munday et al., 2008).”
Ocean acidification impairs olfactory discrimination and homing ability of a marine fish (2009, background): “The potential for acclimation or adaptation are important considerations when assessing the vulnerability of organisms to climate change (4, 8, 9, 30).”
Reef-Scale Thermal Stress Monitoring of Coral Ecosystems: New 5-km Global Products from NOAA Coral Reef Watch (2014, background): “Extensive bleaching events have dramatic long-term ecological and social impacts, including loss of reef-building corals, changes in benthic habitat, changes in associated fish populations [10] and economic loss [11].”
Effects of elevated water temperature and food availability on the reproductive performance of a coral reef fish (2010, background): “However, whether temperature increases will affect the reproductive performance of these species is almost completely unknown (Munday et al. 2008b).”
Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “Aside from contributing to habitat degradation, climate change may also have direct effects on the distribution, abundance and fitness of coral reef fishes [49].”
Tropicalization of fish assemblages in temperate biogeographic transition zones (2014, background): “…the resilience of ecosystems in relation to future warming scenarios, while reducing the impact of fishing and other human uses (Ling et al. 2009, McLeod et al. 2009), possibly mitigating non-linear and unpredictable responses of species and ecosystems in this changing world (Munday et al. 2008).”
Interacting effects of elevated temperature and ocean acidification on the aerobic performance of coral reef fishes (2009, background): “…that the aerobic scope of 2 cardinalfish species (family Apogonidae) declined sharply with a 2°C increase in average summer water temperature, and Munday et al. (2008a) found that the growth of juvenile and adult spiny damselfish (family Pomacentridae) was compromised with a 3°C increase in…”
Importance of environmental and biological drivers in the presence and space use of a reef‑associated shark (2014, background): “Most research has centred around the role that climate change will have on coral reef teleosts (Munday et al. 2008) and sharks (Chin et al. 2010).”
Multi-model ensemble projections of climate change effects on global marine biodiversity (2015, background): “It is therefore likely that the intensity of climate change impacts will vary geographically according to changes in key habitat types and the sensitivity of species inhabiting them (Roessig et al., 2004; Harley et al., 2006; Munday et al., 2008; Cheung et al., 2009).”
Applications and future challenges in marine species distribution modeling (2011, unknown): “ecosystem sensitivities (Roessig et al., 2004; Harley et al., 2006; Munday et al., 2008).”
Acclimation to predicted ocean warming through developmental plasticity in a tropical reef fish (2011, background): “Previous studies have shown that for this population of A. polyacanthus a reduction in growth, body condition and reproduction occurs at 31.0 1C, regardless of food availability (Munday et al., 2008b; Donelson et al., 2010).”
Projecting global marine biodiversity impacts under climate change scenarios (2009, background): “Particularly, climate change impacts on marine biodiversity are likely to intensify in the future, with the intensity of impacts differing geographically according to changes in ocean conditions and sensitivity of the species (Roessig et al. 2004; Harley et al. 2006; Munday et al. 2008).”
Ocean acidification does not affect the early life history development of a tropical marine fish. (2011, background): “Another concern for marine fishes is that elevated PCO2 could affect calcification of the internal skeleton or otoliths (Munday et al. 2008a), either because of the changed saturation states of carbonate ions in seawater, or due to changes in extra-cellular concentrations of bicarbonate and…”
Coral bleaching and habitat degradation increase susceptibility to predation for coral-dwelling fishes (2009, background): “Predation is a critical process affecting the structure and dynamics of reef fish populations, and any increases in rates of predation (attribute to changes in habitat area or habitat quality) could have significant impacts on prey populations as well as overall productivity and trophodynamics of co”
Elevated temperature reduces the respiratory scope of coral reef fishes (2009, background): “While populations of cardinalfishes and other thermally sensitive fishes might contract at low latitudes, they are likely to expand at higher latitudes as water temperature becomes more favorable at these locations (Munday et al., 2008a).”
