Feeling the heat: the effect of acute temperature changes on predator–prey interactions in coral reef fish

Exposure to elevated temperatures significantly affects the predator-prey interactions of a common pair of reef fish. Predators exposed to elevated temperatures had increased maximum attack speeds. This coupled with decreasing prey escape speeds and distances led to increased predation rates with su...
