Which effect results when coral bleaching increases urchin venom potency?

💡 Explanation

Coral bleaching reduces food, causing sea urchins to concentrate and enhance venom through a mechanism called resource allocation; because this makes them more toxic, predator mortality will heighten, therefore selecting for predation resistance rather than other physiological changes.
