Ocean acidification induces changes in algal palatability and herbivore feeding behavior and performance
Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) Publications
The effects of global stressors on a species may be mediated by the stressors' impact on coexisting taxa. For instance, herbivore–algae interactions may change due to...
