PERTH, Australia, July 24 (UPI) -- Heat waves, likely to become common with climate change, aren't just a problem for humans; they can reshape entire marine ecosystems, Australian scientists say.
Researchers studying events last year in the sea off Australia's west coast, where sea temperatures were 3 degrees to 7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than usual along a 1,200-mile stretch of coast, say that impact can be extreme and rapid.
