• Description:
  Research has estimated associations between water temperature and the spatial dis- tribution of marine fishes based upon correlations between temperature and the cen- troid of fish distribution (centre of gravity, COG). Analysts have then projected future water temperatures to forecast shifts in COG, but often neglected to demonstrate that temperature explains a substantial portion of historical distribution shifts. We argue that estimating the proportion of observed distributional shifts that can be at-
