Thermal affinities for European marine species Citable as data publication Webb, T.J.; Lines, A.; (2018): Thermal affinities for European marine species. Marine Data Archive. https://doi.org/10.14284/378 Contact: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description 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. more 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.
