Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence
