Massive Mortality of a Planktivorous Seabird in Response to a Marine Heatwave (2018, background): “Although many studies have focused on the long-term ecological implications of climate change (Bellard et al., 2012; Garcia et al., 2014), our understanding of extreme temperature events and their impact on ecosystems is less well understood (Wernberg et al., 2012).”
Mangrove and Seagrass Beds Provide Different Biogeochemical Services for Corals Threatened by Climate Change (2016, background): “95 Coral reef climate research has to-date disproportionately focused on species-specific 96 responses under controlled laboratory conditions (Wernberg et al., 2012).”
REVIEW: Potential effects of kelp species on local fisheries (2015, background): “A good alternative could be that of simultaneously 400 performing analogous experiments in regions under different environmental conditions 401 (Wernberg et al. 2012) in order to better understand possible causal links between processes 402 affecting the distribution of kelp over large scales (e.g.…”
Physiological responses of habitat‐forming seaweeds to increasing temperatures (2016, background): “In this context, however, the response of marine organisms to discrete short-term and sudden environmental changes, such as heat spikes or heatwaves, is considerably less well known than responses to gradual change in mean conditions (Wernberg et al. 2012; Coble et al. 2016; Hobday et al. 2016).”
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research (2013, methodology): “Acidification experiments are now far more common than warming experiments (Wernberg et al., 2012), and mesocosm approaches are becoming more widely used (Harley et al., 2006; Hawkins et al., 2008; Wootton et al., 2008).”
Interactive effects of elevated temperature and pCO2 on early-life-history stages of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (2014, background): “Predictions of the impact of global climate change (GCC) on marine organisms have been often considered in terms of the effects of a single environmental factor on some aspect of organismal performance (Byrne, 2011; Wernberg et al., 2012; Kroeker et al., 2013; Todgham and Stillman, 2013).”
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON GLOBAL SEAWEED COMMUNITIES (2012, background): “Although a great deal of research has focused on systems like coral reefs and terrestrial forests (e.g., Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007, Aitken et al. 2008), considerably less attention has been devoted to seaweed-dominated ecosystems (Wernberg et al. 2012).”
Bioerosion: the other ocean acidification problem: Towards a Broader Perspective on Ocean Acidification Research Part 2 A special issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science (2017, background): “Space for such experiments is often restricted, limiting the scope by reducing numbers of species, replicates, treatment levels, or factors (e.g. Wernberg et al., 2012).”
Resistance, Extinction, and Everything in Between – The Diverse Responses of Seaweeds to Marine Heatwaves (2019, background): “This MHW also caused heavy biofouling by CCA on E. radiata at the Houtman Abrolhos Islands in Western Australia (Smale and Wernberg, 2012), the only report of its kind to date.”
