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

Coral‐bleaching responses to climate change across biological scales
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 …

Coral microbiome manipulation elicits metabolic and genetic restructuring to mitigate heat stress and evade mortality
Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMCs) ameliorate environmental stress, but whether
they can prevent mortality and the underlying host response mechanisms remains elusive …

The coral microbiome: towards an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of coral–microbiota interactions
Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Contrasting heat stress response patterns of coral holobionts across the Red Sea suggest distinct mechanisms of thermal tolerance
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) …

Deoxygenation lowers the thermal threshold of coral bleaching
Exposure to deoxygenation from climate warming and pollution is emerging as a
contributing factor of coral bleaching and mortality. However, the combined effects of heating …

Mitigating the ecological collapse of coral reef ecosystems: effective strategies to preserve coral reef ecosystems
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 …

Spatially varying selection between habitats drives physiological shifts and local adaptation in a broadcast spawning coral on a remote atoll in Western Australia
At the Rowley Shoals in Western Australia, the prominent reef flat becomes exposed on low
tide and the stagnant water in the shallow atoll lagoons heats up, creating a natural …

The coral pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus kills non-pathogenic holobiont competitors by triggering prophage induction
The coral reef microbiome is central to reef health and resilience. Competitive interactions
between opportunistic coral pathogens and other commensal microbes affect the health of …
