Abstract
Shannon McMahon experimentally tested the effects of elevated temperature and CO2 on the growth, development, survival, and physiology of two mesopredatory reef fishes. He found that both temperature and CO2 can have varying effects, some beneficial while others negative, and highlights the complexity of understanding how these species will fare in a changing ocean.
