Experimental evidence of the synergistic effects of warming and invasive algae on a temperate reef-builder coral

In the current global climate change scenario, stressors overlap in space and time, and knowledge on the effects of their interaction is highly needed to understand and predict the response and resilience of organisms. Corals, among many other benthic organisms, are affected by an increasing number...
