New South Wales rocky reefs are under threat

M. J. Kingsford et al.

Summary: Rocky reefs in NSW consist of kelp forests and urchin-grazed barrens, which support a diverse range of species. The presence of barrens habitat is determined by the feeding activities of herbivorous invertebrates, especially the black sea urchin. This habitat has remained stable for decades and is crucial for reef-based organisms. However, in Tasmania, the situation regarding the black sea urchin differs from that in NSW, and this should be considered in the management approach for this species in both states.

Ecological interactions mediate projected loss of kelp biomass under climate change

Tom R. Davis et al.

Summary: By considering the ecological interactions between kelp and urchins, the study projected future impacts of climate change on kelp distribution. It found range contractions of kelp at lower latitudes due to ocean warming, but offset by increased kelp biomass at higher latitudes resulting from reductions in urchin herbivory.

Staying in place and moving in space: Contrasting larval thermal sensitivity explains distributional changes of sympatric sea urchin species to habitat warming

Maria Byrne et al.

Summary: Temperature plays a significant role in the success, duration, and dispersal of larval marine ectotherms. A study on two sea urchin species found that Centrostephanus rodgersii has expanded its range in a warming ocean, while Heliocidaris tuberculata has not. The difference in response may be due to differences in their thermal tolerance during the larval stage.

Factors Limiting the Range Extension of Corals into High-Latitude Reef Regions

David Abrego et al.

Summary: Reef-building corals exhibit a decrease in species richness from the tropics to high latitudes, with various hypotheses proposed to explain this pattern. However, there is a lack of data supporting several of these hypotheses. Understanding the factors limiting coral distribution is crucial to predict range expansions and the potential role of high latitude reefs as refuges from climate change.

Climate refugia for kelp within an ocean warming hotspot revealed by stacked species distribution modelling

T. R. Davis et al.

Summary: The study highlights the global decline of canopy forming macroalgae due to climate change, emphasizing the importance of identifying refuges for their conservation. By developing a stacked urchin-kelp species distribution model in an ocean warming hotspot in south-eastern Australia, the research successfully predicted climate refugia for kelp and emphasized the necessity of proactive spatial planning to ensure the persistence of key kelp habitats under increasing environmental stress.

Thermal tolerance of early development predicts the realized thermal niche in marine ectotherms

Rachel Collin et al.

Summary: Comparing the thermal tolerances of embryos with adults in eight species, it was found that the upper thermal limit estimated from embryos is lower than that of adults, while the lower thermal limit is similar. Additionally, warming tolerances for embryos were found to be smaller than for adults.

The population genetic structure of the urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii in New Zealand with links to Australia

L. J. Thomas et al.

Summary: Analysis of microsatellite DNA data revealed significant genetic differentiation among populations of Centrostephanus rodgersii from Australia and New Zealand, with New Zealand populations likely originating from a region in northern Australia. Lower genetic diversity and higher inbreeding in New Zealand suggest a history of recent climate-driven expansion and increasing self-recruitment in the region. This indicates a potential southward spread of C. rodgersii as ocean temperatures rise, highlighting the importance of understanding how New Zealand ecosystems will be affected by climate change.
