Temperature modulates infection-associated metabolic responses in bloom-forming freshwater diatoms

Abstract Warmer waters are reshaping unseen interactions at the base of aquatic food webs, with potential consequences for microalgal bloom dynamics and carbon transfer to higher trophic levels. Two major groups of aquatic parasites—chytrids and oomycetes—infect the same algal host, and changes in temperature can alter...
