REVIEW: Potential effects of kelp species on local fisheries (2015, background): “…that of associated fisheries (e.g. Wernberg et al. 2010), although several other 374 environmental factors typically covary across latitude (Wernberg et al. 2011b); the wave 375 exposure of the study site (e.g. Ojeda & Dearborn 1990); a range of traits of target species that 376 could…”
The rise of Laminaria ochroleuca in the Western English Channel (UK) and comparisons with its competitor and assemblage dominant Laminaria hyperborea (2015, background): “Other human-derived stressors interact with regional-scale climate change in unpredictable and non-linear ways to impact marine ecosystem structure and functioning (Russell et al. 2009; Wernberg et al. 2011; Russell & Connell 2012).”
A decade of climate change experiments on marine organisms: procedures, patterns and problems (2012, background): “Climate change is likely to have widespread and severe ecological and socio-economic implications (Harley et al., 2006; Poloczanska et al., 2007; Rosenzweig et al., 2007; Hoegh-Guldberg & Bruno, 2010; Wernberg et al., 2011a).”
Report Seaweed Communities in Retreat from Ocean Warming (2011, background): “Projected increases in temperature will therefore continue to reduce population resilience [30] and increase the likelihood of sudden range shifts in synergy with other stressors such as nutrient input and coastal development [6, 31].”
Biogenic habitat structure of seaweeds change along a latitudinal gradient in ocean temperature (2011, background): “…patterns along these gradients have been one of the main detectable responses of both aquatic and terrestrial organisms (Southward et al., 1995; Walther et al., 2002; Parmesan and Yohe, 2003; Lima et al., 2007; Poloczanska et al., 2007; Hawkins et al., 2008, 2009; Wernberg et al., 2011).”
Is the meiofauna a good indicator for climate change and anthropogenic impacts? (2015, methodology): “Experimental and modelling approaches are used to identify and predict ecosystem level changes in response to climate change (Wernberg et al. 2011).”
Physiological responses of habitat‐forming seaweeds to increasing temperatures (2016, background): “These habitat-forming seaweeds are under threat from increasing ocean temperatures, which have contributed to significant range shifts (Lima et al. 2007; Wernberg et al. 2011a; Straub et al. 2016).”
The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “…increased frequency and severity of extreme warming events (Dayton and 786 Tegner, 1984; Smale and Wernberg, 2013) and longer-term gradual warming (Wernberg et al., 2011) 787 are likely to have significant impacts on habitat structure and, particularly for those species at the 788 equatorial…”
The 'Great Southern Reef': social, ecological and economic value of Australia's neglected kelp forests (2016, background): “…made up of thousands of kilometres of rocky temperate reefs, dominated by kelp forests and interconnected through oceanographic (Coleman et al. 2011; Wernberg et al. 2013a), ecological (Irving and Connell 2006; Connell and Irving 2008; Vanderklift and Wernberg 2008) and evolutionary (Phillips…”
Variation in the morphology, reproduction and development of the habitat-forming kelp Ecklonia radiata with changing temperature and nutrients (2013, background): “…which is impacting sub - tidal kelp forests in Tasmania (Johnson et al. 2005, Ling et al. 2009a,b), and range shifts in a number of macroalgae (Wernberg et al. 2011) including the contraction and reduction in canopy cover of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera in Tasmania (Johnson et al. 2011).”
Beyond long-term averages: making biological sense of a rapidly changing world (2014, background): “There is thus enormous interest in predicting “winners” and “losers” among commercially, ecologically, and culturally important species [4,16], and the subsequent impacts on patterns of biodiversity [17].”
Sea urchin barrens as alternative stable states of collapsed kelp ecosystems (2014, unknown): “…continuous phase shifts between states, most likely caused by ongoing anthropogenic impact (Connell & Sousa 1983, Pe - traitis & Dudgeon 2004), or that they are part of a larger oceanic regime shift to coralline-dominated barrens (Dayton et al. 1998, Lees et al. 2006, Wernberg et al. 2011).”
