Forecasting shifts in habitat suitability across the distribution range of a temperate small pelagic fish under different scenarios of climate change
Climate change often leads to shifts in the distribution of small pelagic fish, likely by changing the match-mismatch dynamics between these sensitive species within their environmental optima. Using present-day habitat suitability, we projected how different scenarios of climate change (IPCC Repres...
