Changes in species composition of sessile communities on subtidal rock walls in the southern Gulf of Maine during four decades of warming

The paper examines changes in sessile marine species composition on subtidal rock walls in the southern Gulf of Maine over 42 years of warming, finding a shift toward thermally-tolerant, non-native species.

Attributing the variability in direction and magnitude of local-scale marine biodiversity change to human activities

The paper uses a meta-analysis to attribute local-scale marine biodiversity change to human activities and other environmental drivers, finding opposing effects and variability in long-term versus short-term studies.
