In November 2019, the United Nations Environmental Programme, or UNEP, called for global greenhouse gas emissions to decline by nearly 8 percent every year until 2030 if there is to be any chance of restraining global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit). In the first four months of…

Global warming will modify the distribution and abundance of fish worldwide, with effects on the structure and dynamics of food networks. However, making precise predictions on the consequences of this global phenomenon is hard without having a wide historical perspective. A study carried out at the University of Barcelona and…
