Thermal affinities for European marine species

Description in English

This work is supported by EMODnet biology with additional support to TJW during development of these methods provided by the UK Marine Ecosystems Research Programme.

Abstract in English

This data product shows how to derive, summarise and visualise thermal affinities for European marine species. The aim is to derive thermal affinities for all European marine species, by matching occurrence records from OBIS to gridded temperature products. These species-level thermal affinities are then used to produce assemblage-level averages on a 0.5º grid covering European seas, separately for major functional groups (e.g. benthos, zooplankton, fish). Finally these gridded assemblage-level averages are compared to current and projected future sea temperatures to identify areas of high climate vulnerability for each functional group.
