Change in area by climate zone. For 43 deep sea species, the median change is not significant.Of five polar species, three lose 9 to 32% of suitable area. For 50 temperate species, median change is +2.3%. For 112 subtropical species, the median loss is 7% and for 132 tropical species the median loss is 9%, both significant.
