“…For instance, temperature fluctuations can directly affect the nearshore ecosystem by altering growth rates, egg mass production rates (e.g., Broitman, Blanchette, & Gaines, ; Fischer & Thatje, ; Phillips, . ), coral health (Safaie et al, ; Schramek et al, ), and pathogen ecology and mortality (e.g., Goodwin et al, ; Surbeck, ). Temperature is a useful indicator of nutrient delivery to the nearshore (e.g., Omand et al, ), nearshore mixing and exchange due to (for example) rip currents (e.g., Hally‐Rosendahl et al, ; Kumar & Feddersen, ) or internal waves, which can transport larvae and nutrients (Pineda, ) as far as the surfzone (Sinnett et al, ).…”
