Marine species and assemblage change foreshadowed by their thermal bias over Early Jurassic warming by Carl J. Reddin, Jan P. Landwehrs, Gregor H. Mathes, Clemens V. Ullmann, Georg Feulner, Martin Aberhan

“…Here, we examine how regional warming determines species occupancy and assemblage composition of marine bivalves, brachiopods, and gastropods over one-million-year time steps during the Early Jurassic. Thermal bias, the difference between modelled regional temperatures and species’ long-term thermal optima, predicts a gradient of species occupancy response to warming. …”
