Ocean warming since 1982 has expanded the niche of toxic algal blooms in the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans
Open accessAbstract
Significance: This study used high-resolution (daily, quarter-degree resolution) sea-surface temperature records to model trends in growth rates and bloom-season duration for two of the most toxic and widespread harmful algal bloom species indigenous to the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. Alexandrium fundyense synthesizes saxitoxin and Dinophysis acuminata synthesizes okadaic acid, which cause the human health syndromes paralytic and diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, respectively. The model provided hindcasts of harmful algal bloom (HAB) events that were consistent with in situ observations from long-term monitoring programs during the same time period. This study provides evidence that increasing ocean temperatures have already facilitated the intensification of these, and likely other, HABs and thus contribute to an expanding human health threat.

In the citing paper
“Despite the global expansion of HABs (Anderson, 2012;Gobler et al., 2017), few climate change studies have included HAB species as a co-stressor (see Table 1).”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Recent warming has been attributed to more rapid growth and a longer bloom season for multiple toxin-producing HABs (Gobler et al., 2017).”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Ocean warming is changing the ranges in which HABs occur (e.g.Gobler et al., 2017) as well as the distribution of aquatic life (Walther et al., 2002;Harley et al., 2006;Nye et al., 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
