Science in support of ecosystem-based management for the US West Coast and beyond (2010, background): “Recent synthetic research showed pairwise combinations of impacts lead to additive responses, synergisms (the whole is greater than the sum of the parts), and mitigative responses (the whole is less than the sum of the parts) in approximately equal proportions (Crain et al., 2008).”
Beyond long-term averages: making biological sense of a rapidly changing world (2014, background): “mental change can affect species interaction strengths [44,45], so that differential impacts on predators and prey can lead to counterintuitive responses of species in ecosystems [3].”
European seaweeds under pressure: Consequences for communities and ecosystem functioning (2015, background): “Understanding how all these stressors affect natural communities and ecosystems and the prevalence of synergistic or non-synergistic interactions remains a challenge for researchers (Crain et al., 2008; Richardson et al., 2012).”
Quantifying cumulative impacts of human pressures on the marine environment: a geospatial modelling framework (2010, background): “However, a common ecological paradigm is that multiple pressures can act in synergy (Folt et al. 1999, Folke et al. 2004, Christensen et al. 2006, Crain et al. 2008).”
Fertilization in a suite of coastal marine invertebrates from SE Australia is robust to near-future ocean warming and acidification (2010, background): “In addition, marine gametes are exposed to a multitude of stressors, the effects of which may be exacerbated by ocean change (Mead and Epel 1995; Przeslawski et al. 2005, 2008; Crain et al. 2008 ).”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Ecosystem uncertainty is compounded in important but largely unknown ways as a consequence of interactive effects of multiple stressors in marine ecosystems [134] and by differential vulnerability of diverse habitat types to similar threats [135].”
Interactive effects of acidification, hypoxia, and thermal stress on growth, respiration, and survival of four North Atlantic bivalves (2018, background): “In a broad meta-analysis of marine systems, Crain et al. (2008) found that environmental stressors were more likely to act synergistically or antagonistically than additively.”
Climate change and disease: bleaching of a chemically defended seaweed (2011, background): “Instead, multiple biotic and abiotic stressors can act simultaneously and cumulatively (Crain et al., 2008) and expoCorrespondence: Alexandra H.”
Understanding the responses of ocean biota to a complex matrix of cumulative anthropogenic change (2012, methodology): “Crain et al. (2008) conducted a meta-analysis of a suite of marine studies that had investigated the biological effects of MEDs, and reported that certain experimental approaches are more likely to introduce a skew towards either an antagonism or a synergism.”
A decade of climate change experiments on marine organisms: procedures, patterns and problems (2012, background): “Yet, extensive meta-analyses of both marine (Crain et al., 2008) and non-marine (Darling & Côté, 2008) experiments have shown that concurrent impacts of multiple stressors are predominantly nonadditive and therefore cannot be understood or predicted in isolation from one another.”
