In marine systems, changes in plant-herbivore interactions can lead to…

Scott Ling (1) 1 Ecology & Biodiversity, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 129, Hobart, Tasmania 7001 Coincident with recent ocean warming there has been a dramatic and ongoing increase in the occurrence of warmer-water marine species in eastern Tasmania. While the ecological impact of these ‘range-extending’ species remains largely…

Anna Eklöf Theoretical Biology, IFM, Linköping University, Sweden Species are at an increasing rate colonizing novel regions around the world –as results from well-planned anthropogenic actions, accidental anthropogenic actions or by environmentally forces such as climate change. However, the ecological issues and consequences of a species taken from its natural habitat to a new one…
