Limited net poleward movement of reef species over a decade of climate extremes

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 19 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02116-w

The authors use 12 years of broadscale survey data across 838 temperate and tropical coastal sites to investigate shifts in marine taxa range edges at the community level. They show that while some species respond rapidly to change, evidence for mass poleward migration is limited.
