|a Climate change can affect organisms both directly via physiological stress and indirectly via
changing relationships among species. However, we do not fully understand how changing
interspecific relationships contribute to community- and ecosystem-level responses to
environmental forcing. I used experiments and spatial and temporal comparisons to demonstrate
that warming substantially reduces predator-free space on rocky shores. The vertical extent of
mussel beds decreased by 51% in 52 years, and reproductive populations of mussels disappeared
at several sites. Prey species were able to occupy a hot, extralimital site if predation pressure
was experimentally reduced, and local species richness more than doubled as a result. These
results suggest that anthropogenic climate change can alter interspecific interactions and
produce unexpected changes in species distributions, community structure, and diversity. |
