Human-induced climate change has already had a major impact on Earth’s biodiversity. The habitat of many species—including those in the oceans—is disappearing, and invasive species are conquering new regions. In a comprehensive data analysis, a team of researchers from Bremen and Oldenburg has studied how species communities in the North Atlantic have changed over a period of 24,000 years—since the last ice age. As expected, species have migrated northward, but new communities have also formed—and even after temperatures stabilized. The results have now appeared in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
