Past meta-analyses of the response of marine organisms to climate change have examined a limited range of locations, taxonomic groups and/or biological responses.This has precluded a robust overview of the effect of climate change in the global ocean.e find the magnitude of distribution change differed by taxonomic or functional group (p F = 11.51, d f = 8) and range edge (p F = 16.01, d f = 1; two-way analysis of variance with d f residuals = 206; no significant interaction between taxa and range edge).
