That's a few examples, but of course scientists have tried to look more, more broadly and more objectively, is their global patterns. And this is 1 particular study that's done a very good job of that looking at all sorts of responses in biota, things that you might expect animals to do in response to climate change. And these are changes in their distribution phenology, which is the. Change in the timing of the reproduction. Changes in abundance, community structure, calcification rates, or other demographic rates like mortality and grow. Rates looked across a whole range of biota globally from a bunch of different studies and got about 1700 different responses and over 80% of them are consistent. The responses are consistent with what you'd expect. From a climate change, if climate change is the driver, one of the really important points that came out of this study was that that the range of expansion in marine systems is about 10 times faster than you see in terrestrial systems. Part of the reason is because marine organisms tend to occupy the full range of their thermal habitat, which is not typically seen in terrestrial. System. So, when there is a change, it often necessitates a very rapid move.

According to the passage, what is one significant difference between the range expansion of marine and terrestrial organisms in response to climate change?
