Climate change is reshaping the distributions of marine species and disrupting functional connectivity among protected areas, yet few studies have quantified how these shifts alter the performance of marine protected area (MPA) networks. This study assessed climate-driven changes in functional connectivity for eight economically important fish species across 193 coastal MPAs in China under current conditions and two end-of-cen...

Understanding how climate change and anthropogenic stressors jointly affect threatened marine species is critical for conservation planning, yet integrated assessments remain scarce in China’s coastal waters. Using an ensemble species distribution modelling framework (Biomod2) with six algorithms, we projected habitat suitability for ten threatened marine species under climate-only and global-change scenarios for 2040–2050 und...
