• Climate Change Impacts on Seagrass Meadows and Macroalgal Forests: An Integrative Perspective on Acclimation and Adaptation Potential (2018, background): “Physiological, genetic, and modeling data predict, and already document, that rising temperatures cause massive die-offs of genetically unique populations along warmtemperate distribution limits and open up new thermally suitable habitat in polar regions (Wernberg et al., 2011; Jueterbock et al., 20”
• The 'Great Southern Reef': social, ecological and economic value of Australia's neglected kelp forests (2016, background): “…understanding the current and future threats faced by the GSR from a local to continental scale is essential to enable appropriate management of the system and ensure the sustainability of the intrinsic value and ecosystem services derived from it (Connell and Irving 2009; Wernberg et al. 2011b).”
• Defining and observing stages of climate-mediated range shifts in marine systems (2014, background): “…and biodiversity to global change, with species redistribution receiving significant research effort (Root et al., 2003; Hickling et al., 2006; Hawkins et al., 2008, 2009; Wernberg et al., 2011; Bellard et al., 2012; Cahill et al., 2012; La Sorte and Jetz, 2012; Parmesan and Yohe, 2003).”
• Climate change and ocean acidification effects on seagrasses and marine macroalgae (2013, background): “Rising SST is already causing population shifts in temperate and tropical macroalgal species across various biogeographic regions (Wernberg et al., 2011), including economically and ecologically important species, such as kelp at the edges of their range (Liu & Pang, 2010).”
• Can macroalgae contribute to blue carbon? An Australian perspective (2015, background): “Ocean warming on both the east and west coasts of Australia have caused pole-ward movement of macroalgal species over the past five decades (Wernberg et al. 2011a).”
• Decline and local extinction of Fucales in French Riviera: the harbinger of future extinctions? (2014, unknown): “Some taxa have been driven to regional extinction (Thibaut et al., 2005; Coleman et al., 2008; Phillips & Blackshaw, 2011) or are threatened by climate warming that might drive them toward areas where re-treat is impossible (Wernberg et al., 2011).”
• Alginate Production from Marine Macroalgae, with Emphasis on Kelp Farming (2018, background): “Particularly in recent years, kelp populations have declined in many areas of the world due to environmental stress caused by climate change, among other factors, especially by the increase in sea temperature and disruption in the natural nutrient availability patterns [107, 108].”
• Species distribution models and mitochondrial DNA phylogeography suggest an extensive biogeographical shift in the high‐intertidal seaweed Pelvetia canaliculata (2014, background): “Smaller range shifts attributable to (so far much milder) global warming have already been documented (Wernberg et al., 2011; Nicastro et al., 2013) or forecast (Jueterbock et al., 2013) for other seaweeds.”
• Conserving potential coral reef refuges at high latitudes (2014, background): “…endemics may decline, more tropical species become established and more abundant by dispersing poleward (Riegl & Piller, 2003; Greenstein & Pandolfi, 2008; Funk et al., 2012), and range contractions of habitat-forming temperate species occur (Wernberg et al., 2011b; Smale & Wernberg, 2013).”
