Atlantic and Mediterranean
warming-related diseases outbreaks and species shifts recently have been documented.
Evaluated tools of short-term effects on the health or organisms resistance are
necessary to assess and understand mechanisms affecting marine biodiversity.
Until now, climate warming has been studied at the population or community
level. Here we offer a better understanding of such phenomena at the individual
organism l ...
