Climate change to reshape kelp forest diversity

Climate change threatens to disrupt these underwater havens, but we can take action. Our new research provides a roadmap for conservation, highlighting regions most at risk and where protection efforts are most needed.

Heatwaves are more intense and persist longer in deeper waters

Global analysis shows deep marine biodiversity facing higher risk of exposure to the cumulative effect of intense and prolonged heatwave events.

Oceanographic connectivity explains the intra-specific diversity of mangrove forests

The crucial role of ocean currents in shaping mangrove genetic diversity, challenging previous assumptions and emphasizing the importance of preserving these ecosystems.
