Rapid environmental change continues to have alarming consequences for the world’s oceans, including shifts in the distribution and phenology of species, the nature and strength of species interactions, and the alteration of ecosystems and provision of their services [1–3]. Threats to biodiversity from overharvesting, climate change, invasion, habitat degradation, disease and their combined effect are amplifying [4, 5], suggesting that local and global extinctions will soon follow [6]. Despite the growing body of research documenting the effects of environmental change on marine species, communities and ecosystems, the field has yet to develop robust predictions of how marine species and ecosystems will ultimately respond, persist or recover under these threats [7, 8]. Because such predictions require a basic understanding of how organisms have adapted to their current environments—and how such adaptation may shape the capacity of future generations to respond—any successful predictive framework must integrate the principles of evolutionary biology. As famously noted in 1973 by Theodosius Dobzhansky,‘Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.’While the study of the interaction between physical, chemical and biological processes has yielded considerable insight into the ecology of marine and other systems, evolutionary thinking has not been historically well integrated within the ocean sciences. In marine systems, oceanographic forcing is a key factor driving evolutionary processes. Dispersal (gen flow), random mortality (drift) and non-random mortality (selection) all occur for species within oceanographic settings, which results in strong coupling between physical and evolutionary processes in the sea [9, 10]. At the same time, there is potentially strong decoupling between the larval environment (and origin) and adult environment, especially for sessile organisms with pelagic larvae [11]. Marine species are also often characterized by large effective population sizes, high fecundity and potential for long-distance dispersal of gametes or larvae. Despite this high dispersal capacity, many marine species exhibit local adaptation on spatial scales well below the dispersal distance (microgeographic adaptation)[8, 12, 13]. While an understanding of evolutionary processes is key to predicting responses to climate change, considering these aspects of marine systems can also give new insights into evolutionary processes. This Special Feature highlights research at the intersection of evolutionary processes and marine science that aims to advance knowledge in both fields. Both adaptation and phenotypic plasticity can facilitate population persistence in a changing environment [11, 14]. A widespread notion is that populations experiencing increased climate variability (eg fluctuations) will evolve increased plasticity, thereby making them less vulnerable to environmental change. This idea, known as the ‘climate variability hypothesis’, arose from a prediction in macroecology that species from thermally variable environments should tend to have broader thermal niches [15]. This idea also forms the basis of indexes of population vulnerability based on climate novelty [16, 17], which are based on the amplitude of historical climate fluctuations experienced by a population.
