Marine functional connectivity (MFC) refers to the flows of organic matter, genes, and energy that are caused by the active and passive movements of marine organisms. Occurring at various temporal and spatial scales, MFC is a dynamic, constantly evol... Read More about Geohistorical insights into marine functional connectivity.

Something old, something new: Historical perspectives provide lessons for blue growth agendas (2020)
Journal Article
Caswell, B. A., Klein, E. S., Alleway, H. K., Ball, J. E., Botero, J., Cardinale, M., Eero, M., Engelhard, G. H., Fortibuoni, T., Giraldo, A. J., Hentati-Sundberg, J., Jones, P., Kittinger, J. N., Krause, G., Lajus, D. L., Lajus, J., Lau, S. C., Lescrauwaet, A. K., MacKenzie, B. R., McKenzie, M., …Thurstan, R. H. (2020). Something old, something new: Historical perspectives provide lessons for blue growth agendas. Fish and Fisheries, 21(4), 774-796. https://doi.org/10.1111/faf.12460

The concept of “blue growth,” which aims to promote the growth of ocean economies while holistically managing marine socioecological systems, is emerging within national and international marine policy. The concept is often promoted as being novel; h... Read More about Something old, something new: Historical perspectives provide lessons for blue growth agendas.

Influence of climate-induced biogeographic range shifts on mudflat ecological functioning in the subtropics (2020)
Journal Article
Caswell, B. A., Dissanayake, N. G., & Frid, C. L. (2020). Influence of climate-induced biogeographic range shifts on mudflat ecological functioning in the subtropics. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 237, 106692. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2020.106692

A growing volume of evidence shows that the broad-scale biogeographic redistribution of species is occurring in response to increasing global temperatures. The present study documents poleward movements of up to eight species of nominally ‘tropical’...

Recovery of benthic communities following the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in the Cleveland Basin, UK (2019)
Journal Article
Caswell, B. A., & Dawn, S. J. (2019). Recovery of benthic communities following the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in the Cleveland Basin, UK. Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, 521, 114-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.02.014

During the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (OAE) considerable environmental changes occurred that were associated with global warming, perturbations to the C-cycle and ocean deoxygenation which resulted in a mass extinction of marine fauna. Recovery of... Read More about Recovery of benthic communities following the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in the Cleveland Basin, UK.

An ecological status indicator for all time: Are AMBI and M-AMBI effective indicators of change in deep time? (2019)
Journal Article
Caswell, B. A., Frid, C. L., & Borja, A. (2019). An ecological status indicator for all time: Are AMBI and M-AMBI effective indicators of change in deep time?. Marine pollution bulletin, 140, 472-484. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.01.068

Increasingly environmental management seeks to limit the impacts of human activities on ecosystems relative to some ‘reference’ condition, which is often the presumed pre-impacted state, however such information is limited. We explore how marine ecos... Read More about An ecological status indicator for all time: Are AMBI and M-AMBI effective indicators of change in deep time?.

Ecological functioning of mudflats: Global analysis reveals both regional differences and widespread conservation of functioning (2018)
Journal Article
Dissanayake, N. G., Frid, C. L., Drylie, T. P., & Caswell, B. A. (2018). Ecological functioning of mudflats: Global analysis reveals both regional differences and widespread conservation of functioning. Marine ecology progress series, 604, 1-20. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps12728

Mudflats—unvegetated, soft-sediment, intertidal habitats—support macrofaunal assemblages that contribute to a number of important ecosystem functions (e.g. food for fish and birds, nutrient and Ccycling). These habitats are widespread but are threate... Read More about Ecological functioning of mudflats: Global analysis reveals both regional differences and widespread conservation of functioning.

Seafloor ecological functioning over two decades of organic enrichment (2018)
Journal Article

Marine ecosystem resilience during extreme deoxygenation: the Early Jurassic oceanic anoxic event (2016)
Journal Article

Global warming during the Early Jurassic, and associated widespread ocean deoxygenation, was comparable in scale with the changes projected for the next century. This study quantifies the impact of severe global environmental change on the biological...
