Climate change transforms the functional identity of Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages

Daniel Gomez-Gras et al.

Summary: The study revealed that, despite stable functional richness, communities impacted by marine heatwaves experienced long-term directional changes in their dominant trait values. Key traits such as large sizes, long lifespans, arborescent morphologies, filter-feeding strategies, and calcified skeletons were declining, potentially affecting ecosystem functioning.
