I was just thinking someone needs to write a paper saying it is not biodiversity per se, but *species interactions*, that underpin ecosystem services
This new paper makes that point, although I think there is much more to say on the subject

NEW STUDY: Mean reef fish body size decreases towards warmer waters
Coghlan et al. analysed 15,000+ surveys across a 15°C SST gradient to find a significant decrease in mean fish body size with warmer waters, averaging a 5% reduction per 1°C increase.
