Temperature Influences Herbivory and Algal Biomass in the Galápagos Islands
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Temperature can influence trophic interactions via predictable effects on the metabolism of ecothermic consumers. Under some conditions, warming should increase top–down control, and trophic transfer rates, leading to declines in prey populations.
