Abstract

For the past two decades, climate change has become an increasingly hot topic in ecology (Hoegh-Guldberg & Bruno, 2010), but our understanding of associated impacts has lagged in marine relative to terrestrial systems (Richardson & Poloczanska, 2008). Specifically, although ecological theory and mathematical modeling have been widely used to project (Box 1) potential ecological responses to future climate-change scenarios (e.g., Cheung et al., 2009; Pike, 2013b), synthesis of observational evidence (Box 1) of such responses to recent climate change has until recently been neglected, especially for ocean systems (Poloczanska et al., 2013).
