The timescales of global surface-ocean connectivity

The adaptive capabilities of planktonic communities to climate change remain uncertain. Here, using Lagrangian particle tracking and network theory, the authors show that surface ocean currents can navigate the globe within 10 years, suggesting that marine plankton may keep pace with climate change.
