Marine heat waves (MHWs) have devastating effects on ecosystems, leading to major die-offs of foundation species and ecological regime shifts that persist beyond the warm period (Arimitsu et al., 2021;Smale et al., 2019;Suryan et al., 2021). As MHWs increase in frequency and amplitude (Oliver et al., 2021), it becomes increasingly important to understand their impact on both individual organisms and entire biological communities. While anomalously warm conditions may lead to high mortality in species living near their thermal limit (Smale et al., 2019), many observed ecosystem responses cannot be explained by differences in temperature. Predicting community responses and
