Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs)
and mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine organisms are one of their main …

Background Anthropogenic climate change, and global warming in particular, has strong and
increasing impacts on marine ecosystems (Poloczanska et al., 2013; Halpern et al., 2015; …

Quantifying changes in functional community structure driven by disturbance is critical to
anticipate potential shifts in ecosystem functioning. However, how marine heatwaves (MHWs) …

Marine sponges host bacterial communities with important ecological and economic roles in
nature and society, yet these benefits depend largely on the stability of host–symbiont …

Climate change threatens coastal benthic communities on a global scale. However, the
potential effects of ongoing warming on mesophotic temperate reefs at the community level …

The differential response of marine populations to climate change remains poorly
understood. Here, we combine common garden thermotolerance experiments in aquaria and …

The accurate delimitation of species boundaries in nonbilaterian marine taxa is notoriously
difficult, with consequences for many studies in ecology and evolution. Anthozoans are a …

Marine Citizen Science (MCS) has emerged as a promising tool to enhance conservation
efforts. Although the quality of volunteer data has been questioned, the design of specific …

Aim How historical and contemporary eco‐evolutionary processes shape the patterns of genetic
diversity and differentiation across species’ distribution range remains an open question …

Paramuricea clavata is an ecosystem architect of the Mediterranean temperate reefs that is
currently threatened by episodic mass mortality events related to global warming. The …
