Climate change effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural resource management in the United States. (2020, background): “…in sales annually to the US economy (National Marine Fisheries Service, 2018), and climate change is affecting the availability, distribution (section 2.3), and quality of commercially important species (Kleisner et al., 2016; Peer and Miller, 2014; Pershing et al., 2015; Walsh et al., 2015).”
Invasive seaweeds transform habitat structure and increase biodiversity of associated species (2017, background): “In the Gulf of Maine, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) has risen steadily since 2000 with annual yearly increases of 0 23°C, with highest temperatures on record occurring since 2004 (Mills et al. 2013; Pershing et al. 2015).”
Temporal resolutions in species distribution models of highly mobile marine animals: Recommendations for ecologists and managers (2017, background): “23°C/yr for 2004–2013, a rate faster than 99% of the global ocean in the last decade (Pershing et al., 2015) (the wavelet analysis we presented is designed to characterize periodic phenomena and does not detect these long- term trends).”
Patterns, Causes, and Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation (2016, background): “In the United States alone, Loss et al. (2015) estimated that bird collisions with buildings and www.annualreviews.org • Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation 341 Changes may still occur before final publication online and in print A nn u.”
Lessons learned from practical approaches to reconcile mismatches between biological population structure and stock units of marine fish (2017, background): “It is challenging to assess the impact of spawning and mortality closures at the stock-level, because fishing pressure outside the closures along with ecosystem changes may have a stronger impact on long-term stock trajectories (Pershing et al., 2015; Hare et al., 2016).”
Adaptive marine conservation planning in the face of climate change: What can we learn from physiological, ecological and genetic studies? (2019, background): “The number of studies involving experimental and eomics approaches to decipher population-by-environment interactions is increasing sharply (e.g., Palumbi et al., 2014; Pespeni et al., 2013) and this should significantly improve on our ability to design relevant conservation plans.”
