Climate change reshuffles northern species within their niches
Study key findings & significance
- Four decades of climate change have led to significant reshuffling of species within their climatic niches, and that these impacts were most pronounced at higher latitudes.
- The study leverages the unique database of long-term monitoring data in Finland and reveals just how large the impacts of climate change have been.

Decadal-scale phenology and seasonal climate drivers of migratory baleen whales in a rapidly warming marine ecosystem
Study key findings & significance
- Climate change is having an impact on how large whale species, including the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, use habitats in the warming Gulf of Maine, showing that right whales' use of Cape Cod Bay has shifted significantly over the last 20 years.
- Highly migratory marine mammals can and do adapt the timing of their habitat use in response to climate-driven changes in their environment, with results showing increased habitat use by right whales in Cape Cod Bay from February to May, with greatest increases in April

The intensification of winter mid-latitude storm tracks in the Southern Hemisphere
Study key findings & significance
- The effects of climate change have heavily intensified winter storms in the Southern Hemisphere to a level that computational climate models had only previously projected for the year 2080.
- After simulating storm intensification patterns under isolated natural climate fluctuations, the research team found that storms over the past two decades have been intensifying faster than can be explained by these natural processes alone.
- The researchers determined that physical changes in atmospheric jet streams over the past 2
