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

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

Reef-building corals possess a range of acclimatisation and adaptation mechanisms to
respond to seawater temperature increases. In some corals, thermal tolerance increases …

Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and
economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change …

Prospects for coral persistence through increasingly frequent and extended heatwaves
seem bleak. Coral recovery from bleaching is only known to occur after temperatures return …

Coral reefs represent the most spectacular and diverse marine ecosystem on the planet as
well as a critical source of income for millions of people. However, the combined effects of …

The persistence of coral reef ecosystems relies on the symbiotic relationship between
scleractinian corals and intracellular, photosynthetic dinoflagellates in the genus …

Changing components, rock textures, lithofacies, platform types and architecture throughout
time are unique characteristics of carbonate rocks. Characterizing these attributes has been …

Climate change is negatively affecting the stability of natural ecosystems, especially coral
reefs. The dissociation of the symbiosis between reef-building corals and their algal …

Reef‐building corals are at risk of extinction from ocean warming. While some corals can
enhance their thermal limits by associating with dinoflagellate photosymbionts of superior …
