Wrong-way migrations of benthic species driven by ocean warming and larval transport

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 07 September 2020; doi:10.1038/s41558-020-0894-x

Many marine species have migrated towards the poles as water temperatures warm. In contrast, due to changes in the timing of spawning and transport, benthic invertebrates on the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf are pushed into warmer waters where mortality could be higher.
