The regular movements of waves and tides are obvious representations of the oceans'
rhythmicity. But the rhythms of marine life span across ecological niches and timescales …

Dispersal allows species to shift their distributions in response to changing climate
conditions. As a result, dispersal is considered a key process contributing to a species' long …

Spatial and temporal patterns of future coral bleaching are uncertain, hampering global
conservation efforts to protect coral reefs against climate change. Our analysis of daily …

The global coral bleaching event of 2014–2017 resulted from the latest in a series of heat
stress events that have increased in intensity. We assessed global-and basin-scale …

Reef-building corals are critically important species that are threatened by anthropogenic
stresses including climate change. In attempts to understand corals' responses to stress and …

Synchronized mass coral spawning typically occurs several days after a full moon once a
year. It is expected that spawning day is determined by corals sensing environmental …

The impacts of human and natural disturbances on coral reefs are typically quantified
through visible damage (eg, reduced coral coverage as a result of bleaching events), but …

The discovery of multi-species synchronous spawning of scleractinian corals on the Great
Barrier Reef in the 1980s stimulated an extraordinary effort to document spawning times in …

For many corals, the timing of broadcast spawning correlates strongly with a number of
environmental signals (seasonal temperature, lunar, and diel cycles). Robust experimental …

Synchronous multispecific coral spawning generally occurs annually and forms an integral
part of the coral life cycle. Apart from spawning times and species participation, however …
