The vulnerability and resilience of reef-building corals
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 …

The role of natural variability in sha** the response of coral reef organisms to climate change
Abstract Purpose of Review We investigate whether regimes of greater daily variability in
temperature or pH result in greater tolerance to ocean warming and acidification in key reef …

Diurnal fluctuations in seawater pH influence the response of a calcifying macroalga to ocean acidification
Coastal ecosystems that are characterized by kelp forests encounter daily pH fluctuations,
driven by photosynthesis and respiration, which are larger than pH changes owing to ocean …

Stress-resistant corals may not acclimatize to ocean warming but maintain heat tolerance under cooler temperatures
Naturally heat-resistant coral populations hold significant potential for facilitating coral reef
survival under rapid climate change. However, it remains poorly understood whether they …

Diel variability in seawater pH relates to calcification and benthic community structure on coral reefs
Community structure and assembly are determined in part by environmental heterogeneity.

Cephalopod culture: current status of main biological models and research priorities
A recent revival in using cephalopods as experimental animals has rekindled interest in their
biology and life cycles, information with direct applications also in the rapidly growing …

Host genotype and stable differences in algal symbiont communities explain patterns of thermal stress response of Montipora capitata following thermal pre-exposure …
As sea surface temperatures increase worldwide due to climate change, coral bleaching
events are becoming more frequent and severe, resulting in reef degradation. Leveraging …

Heterotrophy promotes the re-establishment of photosynthate translocation in a symbiotic coral after heat stress
Symbiotic scleractinian corals are particularly affected by climate change stress and respond
by bleaching (losing their symbiotic dinoflagellate partners). Recently, the energetic status of …

The combination of ocean warming and acidification as a result of increasing atmospheric
carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered to be a significant threat to calcifying organisms and …

How good are we at assessing the impact of ocean acidification in coastal systems? Limitations, omissions and strengths of commonly used experimental approaches …
Much of our past research on ocean acidification has focussed on direct responses to pCO2
increase at the (sub-) organism level, but does not produce findings that can be projected …
