TL;DR: The effects of fishing on sharks, rays, and chimaeras (chondrichthyans), and the implications for marine ecosystems are examined at the single-species level and through trophic interactions.

TL;DR: Though the threat of extinction is increasing, overall declines would have been worse in the absence of conservation, and current conservation efforts remain insufficient to offset the main drivers of biodiversity loss in these groups.

TL;DR: This article explored the likely consequences of climate change for the geographical redistribution of terrestrial and marine species at a global scale using a comprehensive data set of thermal tolerance limits, latitudinal range boundaries and latitudinal shift of cold-blooded animals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the vulnerability of 132 national economies to potential climate change impacts on their capture fisheries using an indicator-based approach and found that countries in Central and Western Africa (e.g. Malawi, Guinea, Senegal, and Uganda), Peru and Colombia in north-western South America, and four tropical Asian countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Yemen) were identified as most vulnerable.
