Abstract
Beth Lang investigated the impacts of temperature on the coral-feeding crown-of-thorns starfish. She found that the early life stages and adults are negatively impacted by magnitudes of warming expected to occur in the near future. These responses to warming may lead to spatial temporal shifts in outbreak risk.
