Evidence that dimethyl sulfide facilitates a tritrophic mutualism between marine primary producers and top predators

This study demonstrates that dimethyl sulfide, a chemical cue involved in global climate regulation, mediates a tritrophic mutualistic interaction between marine apex predators and primary producers. Our results imply that marine top predators play a critical role in maintaining both ocean health an...
