Conceptual model of how temperature (and other factors) may promote changes in both host and surface microbes leading to shell disease. Altered physiology of the host includes moulting frequency. Microbial consortia of shell disease lesions usually display lowered diversity and richness indices when compared to non‐diseased areas of carapace (i.e., they are dysbiotic).
