HIGHLIGHTS
- who: G. I. Zardi from the DepartmentRhodes University have published the research work: Enemies with benefits: parasitic endoliths protect mussels against heat stress, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
- future: Although microboring rates are predicted to increase as a result of future projections of ocean acidification and warming rates2627 endolithic species or strains may individually occupy distinct ecological thermal niches e_g ref 28. Work is required to evaluate if the cooling effect of endoliths has a significant impact on mussels' fitness.
