Human activities and climate change threaten marine biodiversity worldwide, though sensitivity to these stressors varies considerably by species and taxonomic group. Mapping the spatial distribution of 14 anthropogenic stressors from 2003 to 2013 onto the ranges of 1271 at-risk marine species sensitive to them, we found that, on average, species faced potential impacts across 57% of their ranges, that this footprint expanded over time, and that the impacts intensified across 37% of their ranges. Although fishing activity dominated the footprint of impacts in national waters, climate stressors drove the expansion and intensification of impacts. Mitigating impacts on at-risk biodiversity is critical to supporting resilient marine ecosystems, and identifying the co-occurrence of impacts across multiple taxonomic groups highlights opportunities to amplify the benefits of conservation management.

高危海洋生物多样性面临着广泛,不断扩大和加剧的人类影响

人类活动和气候变化威胁着世界范围内的海洋生物多样性,尽管对这些压力源的敏感性因物种和生物分类群的不同而有很大差异。将2003年至2013年的14种人为应激源的空间分布映射到对其敏感的1271种高风险海洋物种的范围内,我们发现,平均而言,物种在其范围的57%范围内面临潜在的影响,该足迹随着时间的推移而扩展,并且影响范围扩大到其范围的37%。尽管捕鱼活动在国家水域的影响足迹中占主导地位,但气候压力因素推动了影响的扩大和加剧。减轻对高危生物多样性的影响对于支持复原力强的海洋生态系统至关重要,
