According to a study led by Sal Keith and Lancaster University, coral bleaching is causing behaviour changes in fishes that feed on it. These fishes are at a risk of starvation & they also make poorer fight or flight decisions risking their very survival.
As per a Science Magazine study, rising temperatures increase Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD), causing plants to close stomata. This conserves water but reduces CO2 intake, suppressing global photosynthesis & affecting Earth's carbon balance.
