Impacts of deforestation‐induced warming on the metabolism, growth and trophic interactions of an afrotropical stream fish

Abstract: In ectotherms, anthropogenic warming often increases energy requirements for metabolism, which can either impair growth (when resources are limiting) or lead to higher predator feeding rates and possibly stronger top–down trophic interactions. However, the relative importance of these effects in nature remains unclear because: (1) thermal adaptation or acclimation could lower metabolic costs; (2) greater prey production at warmer temperatures could compensate for higher predator feeding rates; and/or (3) tempe… Show more

“…Small‐bodied Enteromius and Clarias spp. are rhithronic species with preferences for cover and limnophilic features (Fugère, Mehner, et al, 2018; Harniman et al, 2013; Muñoz‐Mas et al, 2019). The longitudinal distribution of fishes in the Sondu‐Miriu River is also influenced by the Odino Waterfalls, which prevent the upstream migration of fishes.…”

“…In contrast to the temperature–size rule, the average size of two cyprinids (bream, Abramis brama , and rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus ) was higher in warmer lakes. This is certainly attributable to the higher productivity of the warmer (and often shallow) lakes, suggesting that the higher maintenance costs at higher temperatures affect the growth rates negatively only in conditions of resource limitation and strong intra‐ and interspecific competition (Bourai et al, 2020; Fugère et al., 2018). In contrast, the size of the predator species pike declined with higher temperatures, suggesting that pike cannot cover the higher energetic costs induced by increasing temperatures by higher prey uptake rates; for example, if some of their prey species, such as bream and rudd, escape into a size refuge by higher growth rates (Mehner et al., 2016).…”

“…Increased climate variation (Dai, 2013; Min, Zhang, Zwiers, & Hegerl, 2011) is likely to drive complex effects on ecosystem and habitat production, with unclear results for consumers and their habitat or resource use (Rosenblatt & Schmitz, 2016). Studies that incorporate climate‐driven changes to habitat‐specific productivity and environmental conditions, coupled with measured responses of individuals, communities and populations are needed to understand and forecast ecosystem level consequences of climate warming (but see Fugère, Mehner, & Chapman, 2018; Stoner et al., 2018).…”
