Correction: Climate-driven phenological shifts and biogeographical constraints of the hydrozoan Velella velella in Mediterranean coastal waters
Recent research validates significant shifts in the distribution and lifecycle timing (phenology) of *Velella velella*, a hydrozoan species, within Mediterranean coastal waters, demonstrably linked to climate change. Empirical data reveal biogeographical constraints impacting this species’ range, highlighting the cascading effects of altered ocean conditions. This study contributes critical ocean intelligence regarding climate indicators and ecosystem response.
