Based on our two hypotheses, temperature increase can lead to one of the following hypotheses. H1 (left): consumers preferentially select for larger species (trait-based selectivity), which can create an imbalance in the trophic fluxes (blue arrows); some species are preferentially selected even when their abundance is low, increasing their extinction risks and initiating large dynamical oscillations in species densities. H2 (right): temperature increase leads consumers to have their diet more driven by encounter rates (density-based selectivity), which creates a stronger control of species with high biomass in comparison with less abundant, smaller ones, favouring coexistence of resource species and thus community species richness.
