Understanding responses of marine species to temperature variability is essential
to predict impacts of future climate change in the oceans. Most ectotherms are
expected to adjust their behavior to avoid extreme temperatures and minimize
acute changes in body temperature. However, measuring such behavioral plasticity
in the wild is challenging. Combining...

Changes in ocean conditions influenced by climatic fluctuations have lead to changes in individual species distributions, which alter the diversity, communities and species interactions across marine ecosystems worldwide. Assessing the species composition and identifying regions and habitats that can safeguard the persistence of biota are critically important. In this dissertation,...
