  abstract = {{C}onsiderable uncertainty remains over how increasing atmospheric {CO}2 and anthropogenic climate changes are affecting open-ocean marine ecosystems from phytoplankton to top predators. {B}iological time series data are thus urgently needed for the world's oceans. {H}ere, we use the carbon stable isotope composition of tuna to provide a first insight into the existence of global trends in complex ecosystem dynamics and changes in the oceanic carbon cycle. {F}rom 2000 to 2015, considerable declines in delta {C}-13 values of 0.8 parts per thousand-2.5 parts per thousand were observed across three tuna species sampled globally, with more substantial changes in the {P}acific {O}cean compared to the {A}tlantic and {I}ndian {O}ceans. {T}una recorded not only the {S}uess effect, that is, fossil fuel-derived and isotopically light carbon being incorporated into marine ecosystems, but also recorded profound changes at the base of marine food webs. {W}e suggest a global shift in phytoplankton community structure, for example, a reduction in {C}-13-rich phytoplankton such as diatoms, and/or a change in phytoplankton physiology during this period, although this does not rule out other concomitant changes at higher levels in the food webs. {O}ur study establishes tuna delta {C}-13 values as a candidate essential ocean variable to assess complex ecosystem responses to climate change at regional to global scales and over decadal timescales. {F}inally, this time series will be invaluable in calibrating and validating global earth system models to project changes in marine biota.},
