G. C. Hays conceived the study and a first draft was compiled by A. M. M. Sequeira, G. C. Hays, M. Heupel, M.-A. Lea, and V. M. Eguíluz at a workshop organized by M. Thums, A. M. M. Sequeira, C. M. Duarte, M. G. Meekan, and V. M. Eguíluz. A. M. M. Sequeira and G. C. Hays led the writing of the manuscript. A. M. M. Sequeira, G. C. Hays, A.-L. Harrison, and H. J. Calich prepared the figures. All authors contributed to the manuscript and commented on drafts. A. M. M. Sequeira was supported by an ARC Grant (DE170100841), and the Australian Institute of Marine Science, G.C. Hays by the Bertarelli Foundation as part of the Bertarelli Programme in Marine Science, and H. J. Calich by an Australian Government RTP scholarship at UWA. Workshop funding was granted to M. Thums, A. M. M. Sequeira, and C. M. Duarte by the UWA Oceans Institute, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Office of Sponsored Research at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). We thank F. Bailleul, S. Goldsworthy, M. Hindell, and all other workshop attendees for initial discussions.
