*Cover | Direct effects and prey-mediated effects of global change in projections of early life stages of pelagic predators
A striped marlin (Kajikia audax) closes in on a bait ball of Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) off the Pacific coast of Baja, Mexico. Every October, Pacific sardine migrate to their spawning grounds in this area, particularly around Magdalena Bay. Their typically sparse predators, including striped marlin, also concentrate in these waters in response to this increase in food availability. This phenomenon highlights the importance of spatiotemporal overlap between pelagic predators and their prey, a key feature of our paper.

Ecography is an Open Access journal proudly owned by the Nordic Society Oikos. We strive to understand ecological and biodiversity patterns through space and time. We encourage papers that advance the fields of macroecology and biogeography by developing and testing theory or modern methodology, or by proposing new tools for analysis or interpretation of ecological phenomena.
