Fish catch in the eastern Mediterranean is already largely composed of alien species. How will this change with global warming?
The marine environment in the eastern Mediterranean is undergoing an unparalleled transformation, as a flood of alien species have entered from the Red Sea following the opening of the Suez Canal. In a study to be published in Global Change Biology we show that alien species occupy higher maximum temperatures in their Indo Pacific native ranges. Thus, contrary to predictions of an accelerating number of aliens following increased water temperatures, hotter summers in this region may prevent the establishment of potential alien species.
