Alsterberg and colleagues showed that with ocean acidification and warming, the biomass of benthic microalgae declined in the absence of omnivores. This was the result of increased negative interactions with its macroalgal competitors and herbivores. Given this information, the relationship between the omnivores and benthic microalgae can best be described as a(n) _______ interaction.
