Marine species that already have large ranges are extending their territories fastest in response to climate change, according to new research from University of British Columbia and biodiversity experts from around the world (including IMAS scientists!).  The study is one of the first comprehensive looks at how traits--other than thermal niche--impact marine animals' ability to respond to climate change. It could help improve global predictions of how different species redistribute as the oceans warm, and identify species in greatest jeopardy. Read the full story in EurekAlert.
