How plant-herbivore interactions respond to temperature for three structural dominant macrophytes in the Mediterranean and their principal sea urchin herbivore??
Our results show a clear set of winners and losers in the warming Mediterranean as the complex factors driving species interactions change.

Seagrass ecosystems reduce exposure to bacterial pathogens of humans, fishes, and invertebrates.
Seagrass ecosystems reduce exposure to bacterial pathogens of humans, fishes, and invertebrates Seagrass meadows, a prominent feature of most healthy coastal ecosystems, are often also associated with shallow coral reefs. Many plants have bioremediation qualities, and seagrasses, of which there are 60 or so species, produce natural biocides. Lamb et al. found that the seagrass meadows of inhab...
