Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …

The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

Recurrent mass bleaching events are pushing coral reefs worldwide to the brink of
ecological collapse. While the symptoms and consequences of this breakdown of the coral …

The apparent ability of corals to acquire and maintain enhanced stress tolerance through a
dose-dependent environmental memory, which may persist for multiple years, has critical …

Thermal‐stress events that cause coral bleaching and mortality have recently increased in
frequency and severity. Yet few studies have explored conditions that moderate coral …

Background Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae are important photosynthetic
symbionts in cnidarians (such as corals) and other coral reef organisms. Breakdown of the …

Coral reef ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots that provide a habitat for about a third of all
marine species (Fisher et al, 2015)—which is why colloquially they are referred to as the …

Global warming is causing an unprecedented loss of species and habitats worldwide. This is
particularly apparent for tropical coral reefs, with an increasing number of reefs experiencing …
