Survey data used in a perception study of stalked barnacle harvesters on the effectiveness of fisheries management practices in Spain, Portugal and France. Harvesters from the following six regions along the Atlantic Arc participated: Morbihan in Brittany (France), Asturias-East, Asturias-West and Galicia (Spain), the Reserva Natural das Berlengas (RNB; Portugal) and the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina (PNSACV; Portugal). We administered 184 surveys from October 2019 to September 2020 and each region was treated as an independent population. The data includes: general demographic data (Region, Age, Gender, Level of Education, Main income source, Years of Experience); perception data of the effectiveness of the currently implemented management strategies in each region (coded: e_name_of_strategy – using Likert Scale with scores ranging from 1 = completely ineffective to 5 = very effective); data of the willingness for change of the currently implemented management (Yes, No, NA); and data of harvesters’ perceptions regarding the most important strategy to achieve sustainability in the fishery. Because the surveys were conducted both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic (the column Covid indicates whether the data was collected before or during the pandemic), we had to make adjustments in our data collection methods. We provided the following options for survey completion (see the Recollection_of_data column): by hand in a written format, online, or via an oral interview conducted with the assistance of a scientist per telephone. Our results indicate that the majority of harvesters in the regions in Portugal and France were willing to make changes to current management strategies, reflecting their awareness of the need for improvement. Based on the AIC model selection analysis results, the model with the single variable region explained 83% of the cumulative model weight. The variable region was the best predictor of the trends in management strategy preferences, and presented a highly significant goodness-of-fit result (p<0.001), suggesting that regional differences play a significant role in shaping these preferences. No clear trend emerged regarding a single "optimal" management strategy preferred by harvesters across regions. Harvesters in less developed co-management systems favored general input and output restrictions and expressed a desire for greater involvement in co-management processes. Conversely, harvesters in highly developed co-management systems with Territorial User Rights for Fishers (TURFs) preferred the most restrictive and spatially explicit management strategies, such as implementing harvest bans and establishing marine reserves. Our findings emphasise that management strategies do not only need to be tailored to each region's particular practices, needs, and characteristics, but that resource users’ readiness for specific strategies also needs to be considered.

These data include population fitness measurements collected for Acartia hudsonica during multigenerational exposure to ocean warming (OW), ocean acidification (OA), and combined ocean warming and acidification (OWA) including a benign ambient condition temperature and CO2 control (AM).

From September of 2017, till August of 2019, water temperatures and A. aegypti larval presence was recorded in nine 19 liter buckets placed in the backyard of Jon Harrison’s home in Tempe, Arizona (33.339, -111.924), as it was known to experience high abundances of A. aegypti. Buckets were 5 – 10 m apart, and so should not be considered ecologically independent. Onset HOBO Pendant® UA-002-08 data loggers (Bourne, Massachusetts) were used to record temperature levels, and larval presence was observed every 1-10 days depending on season (frequently in the summer, less so in winter). If mosquito larvae were observed, they were collected from the bucket with a net and their species identity confirmed with a dissection scope. The data set labeled Figure 2 data provides the water temperatures in one representative bucket from 2017-2019 as shown in Fig. 2 of the manuscript. Larval rearing for mesocosm experiments The parents of larvae used in the mesocosm overwintering experiments were reared from Maricopa County, AZ, origin eggs collected by Maricopa County Vector Control from September to November of 2019. These eggs were placed in a 500 ml beaker, submerged, and hatched in a solution of 0.25 g/L baker’s yeast (Byttebier et al. 2014). As the 1st instar larvae emerged, they were fed TetraMin fish flakes every 1-2 days, making sure that an excess amount of food was visible in the container. The rearing density for the larvae was maintained at fewer than 500 animals per liter of water. As pupae began to appear, the beaker of larvae was placed in a 95-liter polymer-screened cage to contain the expected adults. Cotton balls saturated with 10% sucrose solution were made available for the adults as they began to emerge; these were taken away two days prior to blood feeding. One week after emerging, the adults were blood-fed using mice (IACUC protocol: 18-1662R). After a three-day gestation period, the females were supplied with moist seed-germinating paper to encourage oviposition. Once the females had finished ovipositing, the eggs were kept moist for an additional 48 hours before being dried, and placed in open zip lock sandwich bags which were stored at 100% humidity and 24°C. High humidity in the egg storage containers was achieved by storing damp paper towels along with the opened egg bags within a larger 3.8L bag. These eggs were kept for less than one month before the hatching procedure was repeated to produce the larvae for the experiment. In the lab, across all life stages, the mosquitoes were exposed to a 12:12 L/D photoperiod at 24°C. After hatching, the 2nd instar larvae were moved to their outdoor experimental mesocosms. The larvae were randomly distributed with 20 larvae supplied per each of three ambient mesocosms (Amb1, Amb2, Amb3) and six to warmed mesocosms (W1 – W6), which were warmed by varying amounts (W1 = least warmed, W6 = most warmed). The goal was to achieve a range of warming from very small warming (1-2°C in the least-warmed mesocosm (W1), to near-summer conditions in the most-warmed mesocosm (W6). Each mesocosm was a 150 ml clear plastic container, filled with 125 mL dechlorinated tap water. TetraMin fish flakes were supplied to each mesocosm, with more added every three days or when food was completely consumed. Although the mesocosms were open, we observed no mosquitoes flying in the field, and none were captured in local water buckets, and all A.a. in the mesocosms were of uniform stage, so we believe that this experiment was not affected by oviposition from wild mosquitoes. Manipulation of thermal conditions for larval outdoor rearing All mesocosms were placed on a table one meter above the ground and protected from rain, wind, and sunlight by a roof. The mesocosms were placed within individual lidless pine boxes (10x10x14 cm, 0.95 cm thick walls), and so were exposed to normal fluctuations in air temperature. Each warmed mesocosm was placed on 40mm2 thermoelectric plates with 40mm2 aluminum heatsinks attached using thermally conductive adhesive on each side. The warming orientation of the thermoelectric plate was positioned upwards, towards the mesocosms, to ensure adequate energy transfer from the heating units to the water. Each thermoelectric device was powered by two KORAD KD3005D 30V, 5A power supplies (Shenzhen, China). The thermoelectric plates were wired in parallel. Variable warming was produced by changing the supplied voltage. Temperatures were measured in the cups using HOBO Pendant® UA-002-08 data loggers submerged in the center of each cup. We did not measure temperature gradients within the mesocosms, but believe that they are likely to be small except possibly in the mesocosms that were maximally-warmed, as the mesocosms were small and mostly not strongly warmed above air temperature. Temperatures were logged each hour in each warmed mesocosm, and in one ambient treatment mesocosm. The data file labeled Figure 3 data provides the wate temperatures at hourly intervals during the experiment for one mesocosm at ambient temperature, mesocosm W1 (the least warmed mesocosm) and mesocosm W6 (the most warmed mesocosm) as shown in Fig. 3 of the manuscript. Global warming trends, human-assisted transport, and urbanization have allowed poleward expansion of many tropical vector species, but the specific mechanisms responsible for thermal mediation of range changes and ecological success of invaders remain poorly understood. Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) is a tropical mosquito currently expanding into many higher-latitude regions including the urban desert region of Maricopa County, Arizona. Here, adult populations virtually disappear in winter and spring, and then increase exponentially through summer and fall, indicating that winter conditions remain a barrier to development of A. aegypti. To determine whether cold limits the winter development of A. aegypti larvae in Maricopa County, we surveyed for larval abundance, and tested their capacity to develop in ambient and warmed conditions. Aedes aegypti larvae were not observed in artificial aquatic habitats in winter and spring but were abundant in summer and fall, suggesting winter suppression of adults, larvae or both. Water temperatures in winter months fluctuated strongly; larvae were usually cold-paralyzed at night but active during the day. Despite daytime temperatures that allowed activity, larvae reared under ambient winter conditions were unable to develop to adulthood, perhaps due to repetitive cold damage. However, warming average temperature by 1.7°C allowed many larvae to successfully develop to adults. Because daytime highs in winter will often allow adult flight, it is possible that relatively minor additional winter warming may allow A. aegypti populations to develop and reproduce year-round in Maricopa County. # Data for Mesocosm studies suggest climate change may release Aedes aegypti (Diptera:Culicidae) larvae from cold-inhibition and enable year-round development in a desert city [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.nzs7h44z7](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.nzs7h44z7) Most of the data for this study are provided as supplementary files in the submitted manuscript. Here we provide representative thermal data. One file (Figure 2 data) contains the temperature data for the bucket kept under ambient conditions as shown in Figure 2, which also shows when Aedes aegypti larvae were found in the bucket. From to October 18 -November 29 2017, water temperatures were recorded every 6 minutes. Thereafter, water temperatures were recorded hourly until August 2, 2019. Another file (Figure 3 data) contains water temperatures for three of the mesocosms used in this study, as shown in the manuscript figure 3. This experiment ran from Jan 31, 2020 - March 1, 2020. One column sW1 was and ## Description of the data and file structure Figure 2 data has two columns, column A gives the date and column B the temperature of the ambient bucket in degrees Centigrade. Figure 3 data has four columns; column A gives the hours since the start of the experiment. Column B shows temperatures for an unheated mesocosm kept at ambient conditions. Column C shows temperatures for W6, the most warmed mesocosm (mean temperature 12C higher than the ambient mesocosm, to represent near-summer conditions).

The atmosphere concentration of CO2 is steadily increasing and causing climate change. To achieve the Paris 1.5 or 2 oC target, negative emissions technologies must be deployed in addition to reducing carbon emissions. The ocean is a large carbon sink but the potential of marine primary producers to contribute to carbon neutrality remains unclear. Here we review the alterations to carbon capture and sequestration of marine primary producers (including traditional ‘blue carbon’ plants, microalgae, and macroalgae) in the Anthropocene, and, for the first time, assess and compare the potential of various marine primary producers to carbon neutrality and climate change mitigation via biogeoengineering approaches. The contributions of marine primary producers to carbon sequestration have been decreasing in the Anthropocene due to the decrease in biomass driven by direct anthropogenic activities and climate change. The potential of blue carbon plants (mangroves, saltmarshes, and seagrasses) is limited by the available areas for their revegetation. Microalgae appear to have a large potential due to their ubiquity but how to enhance their carbon sequestration efficiency is very complex and uncertain. On the other hand, macroalgae can play an essential role in mitigating climate change through extensive offshore cultivation due to higher carbon sequestration capacity and substantial available areas. This approach seems both technically and economically feasible due to the development of offshore aquaculture and a well-established market for macroalgal products. Synthesis and applications: This paper provides new insights and suggests promising directions for utilizing marine primary producers to achieve the Paris temperature target. We propose that macroalgae cultivation can play an essential role in attaining carbon neutrality and climate change mitigation, although its ecological impacts need to be assessed further. To calculate the parameters presented in Table 1, the relevant keywords "mangroves, salt marshes, macroalgae, microalgae, global area, net primary productivity, CO2 sequestration" were searched through the ISI Web of Science and Google Scholar in July 2021. Recent data published after 2010 were collected and used since area and productivity of plants change with decade. For data with limited availability, such as net primary productivity (NPP) of seagrasses and global area and NPP of wild macroalgae, data collection was extended back to 1980. Total NPP and CO2 sequestration for mangroves, salt marshes, seagrasses and wild macroalgae were obtained by the multiplication of area and NPP/CO2 sequestration density and subjected to error propagation analysis. Data were expressed as means ± standard error.

The folder may be hidden depending on directory view options. · The “data” folder includes the spreadsheets for modeled seawater temperature and δ18Ow values (“CA_x3CO2.csv”) and δ18Op values of shark tooth bioapatite (“shark FEST d18Op.csv”) used as prior information for the Bayesian model. We refer to section 2.1 for the full description of spreadsheets. · The “R” folder includes customized functions for the Bayesian model stored in the “functions” directory and the script for data analysis (“01_model_sharks.R”). The script includes a comparison of paleothermometer equations after Kolodny et al. (1983), Lécuyer et al. (2013), Longinelli & Nuti (1973), and (Pucéat et al. (2010) using the bulk δ18Op shark tooth bioapatite, simulated seawater temperature and δ18Ow values as prior inputs. While all paleothermometers estimate similar posterior bulk δ18Op close to empirical values, temperature estimates using the Pucéat et al. (2010) method are often the highest, generating estimates ~8°C higher than other equations. We therefore used the Lécuyer et al. (2013) paleothermomether for temperature estimates using δ18Op of shark bioapatite grouped by taxa because it: 1\) Provides consistent posterior temperature estimates relative to other equations (Longinelli & Nuti, 1973, Kolodny et al., 1983). 2\) provides temperature values from fish tooth specimens consistent with estimates of co-existing bivalves or brachiopod carbonate shells. The script provides annotation through libraries, statistical analysis, figures, and tables. **4 Software** **4.1 R** R and R Studio (R Development Core Team, 2024; RStudio Team, 2024) are required to run scripts included in the "d18O data and maps", “FTIR data”, and “Bayes_FEST_Temperautre Estimates” directories, which were created using versions 4.4.1 and 2024.04.02, respectively.

[https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116164](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116164) Eocene climate cooling, driven by the falling pCO2 and tectonic changes in the Southern Ocean, impacted marine ecosystems. Sharks in high-latitude oceans, sensitive to these changes, offer insights into both environmental shifts and biological responses, yet few paleoecological studies exist. The Middle-to-Late Eocene units on Seymour Island, Antarctica, provide a rich, diverse fossil record, including sharks. We analyzed the oxygen isotope composition of phosphate from shark tooth bioapatite (δ18Op) and compared our results to co-occurring bivalves and predictions from an isotope-enabled global climate model to investigate habitat use and environmental conditions. Bulk δ18Op values (mean 22.0 ± 1.3‰) show no significant changes through the Eocene. Furthermore, the variation in bulk δ18Op values often exceeds that in simulated seasonal and regional values. Pelagic and benthic sharks exhibit similar δ18Op values across units but are offset relative to bivalve and modeled values. Some taxa suggest movements into warmer or more brackish waters (e.g., Striatolamia, Carcharias) or deeper, colder waters (e.g., Pristiophorus). Taxa like Raja and Squalus display no shift, tracking local conditions in Seymour Island. The lack of difference in δ18Op values between pelagic and benthic sharks in the Late Eocene could suggest a poorly stratified water column, inconsistent with a fully opened Drake Passage. Our findings demonstrate that shark tooth bioapatite tracks the preferred habitat conditions for individual taxa rather than recording environmental conditions where they are found. A lack of secular variation in δ18Op values says more about species ecology than the absence of regional or global environmental changes.
