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 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 …

Animals and plants are metaorganisms and associate with microbes that affect their
physiology, stress tolerance, and fitness. Here the hypothesis that alteration of the …

Coral bleaching is one of the main drivers of reef degradation. Most corals bleach and suffer
mortality at just 1–2° C above their maximum monthly mean temperatures, but some species …

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), one of the most pervasive and virulent coral
diseases on record, affects over 22 species of reef-building coral and is decimating reefs …

Corals from the northern Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba exhibit extreme thermal tolerance. To
examine the underlying gene expression dynamics, we exposed Stylophora pistillata from …

Health and resilience of the coral holobiont depend on diverse bacterial communities often
dominated by key marine symbionts of the Endozoicomonadaceae family. The factors …

Coral reefs are facing unprecedented mass bleaching and mortality events due to marine
heatwaves and climate change. To avoid extirpation, corals must adapt. Individual variation …

Marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent, widespread and severe, causing mass
coral bleaching and mortality. Natural adaptation may be insufficient to keep pace with …

Corals from the northern Red Sea, in particular the Gulf of Aqaba (GoA), have exceptionally
high bleaching thresholds approaching> 5℃ above their maximum monthly mean (MMM) …
