Response to climate change can be altered by species competition

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 02 March 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01621-8

Acclimation to climate change induces a reduction in the overall energetic cost for ectotherms, but most studies focus on a single species. Now, research shows that species competition can erode the energetic benefits of acclimation by affecting individual behaviour and energetics.
