Interactions between climate and habitat loss effects on biodiversity: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2012, background): “, 2008)? Climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, disease, pollution, and overexploitation are typically studied and managed in isolation, although it is becoming increasingly clear that a singlestressor perspective is inadequate when ecosystems and species are threatened by multiple, co-occu”
A global assessment of the direct and indirect benefits of marine protected areas for coral reef conservation (2018, background): “Bleaching events and rising temperatures can result in greater mortality of corals (in particular those of tabular and branching forms) in protected than unprotected sites (Darling et al., 2010; Graham et al., 2008).”
Reconceptualizing synergism and antagonism among multiple stressors (2015, background): “While multiplicative null models may correct for these “overestimates” (cumulative effect equals the product of individual stressor effects; Darling et al. 2010), the mechanistic and statistical basis for such approaches remains controversial (Greco et al. 1996; Kendler and Gardner 2010).”
