Farmer monitoring reveals the effect of tidal height on mortality risk of oysters during a herpesvirus outbreak
Abstract The intertidal zone is characterized by a sharp vertical gradient of environmental stress, which structures species distribution and their interactions. Few studies, however, have examined the influence of tidal height on host–pathogen interactions. Here, we investigated how the tidal heigh...
