Climate change is challenging marine ecosystems worldwide, severely straining the tolerance of marine species and likely leading to distributional shifts. In the brackish-water Baltic Sea, there is a strong salinity gradient and pronounced seasonality, which together are responsible for its low biodiversity. These communities are dominated by very few species which fulfil the key ecosystem functions. Therefore, to predict how Baltic Sea communities might change in the future, it is first necessary to understand the effects of future changes on these key species, particularly with regard to their potential for adaptation. I studied the consequences of future climate change, specifically in terms of simultaneous hyposalinity and warm...
