Humans are changing the marine environment at an accelerating rate, causing species decline and loss of natural resources. But counter to these declining trends, some appear be thriving in response environmental change. Focusing on three divergent taxa – algae, jellyfish, cephalopods we discuss concept adaptable “weedy species” how they may ultimate beneficiaries rapidly environments. We then show such could benefit society, not only by absorbing human impacts providing sustainable forms food, but also reducing pressure decline. As world's demand for resources continues grow a global under increasing strain, should take closer look weedy see what can provide.

When ocean warming and acidification impact habitat-forming species, substantial alterations to the supported ecological communities associated ecosystems are likely follow. Here, we used experimental manipulations test hypotheses that would negatively affect coralline algal turfs diverse molluscan assemblages they support. Boulders covered in a turf of Amphiroa anceps with intact faunal were subjected an orthogonal combination current (~ 23 °C) future 26 temperatures, 430 µatm) 880 seawater pCO2. Ocean impacted cover photosynthetic efficiency fronds, whereas caused biomass per unit area frond density be 56% 59% less than conditions, respectively. also significant change structure turf, which included 43% 61% reduction species richness overall abundance molluscs, The results demonstrate particularly vulnerable climate change, has implications for biodiversity ecosystem functions by these globally distributed foundation species.
