Abstract

Tessa Hill investigated how climate change indirectly affected coral communities by altering biotic interactions. Focusing on competition and predation, she showed that the frequency and intensity of these biotic stressors were reduced following coral bleaching and with exposure to ocean acidification. These stressors may therefore be less of a structuring force on future reefs.
