Observations (1961–1990) and modelled (2010–2099) changes over the 21st century, in the thresholds for breakpoints in beta diversity. Regions are shown as red for metatranscriptomes (>18.06 °C), orange for 18S (<18.06 °C, >13.96 °C), yellow for 16S (<13.96 °C, >9.49 °C) and blue for temperatures <9.49 °C for a 1961–1990 observations from the HadISST dataset. Modelled estimates temperatures from the HadGEM2-ES CMIP5 run for the 30-year averages, 2010–2039, 2040–2069, and 2070–2099, respectively. Temperatures from HadGEM2-ES have been calibrated to the HadISST observations as described in methods. Black solid line represents the 15 °C and the dashed line the 14 °C average upper ocean temperature.
