Potential changes in the connectivity of marine protected areas driven by extreme ocean warming

Abstract Projected future climate scenarios anticipate a warmer tropical ocean and changes in surface currents that will likely influence the survival of marine organisms and the connectivity of marine protected areas (MPAs) networks. We simulated the regional effects of climate change on the demogr...
