[HTML][HTML] Scientists' warning to humanity: microorganisms and climate change
In the Anthropocene, in which we now live, climate change is impacting most life on Earth.
Microorganisms support the existence of all higher trophic life forms. To understand how …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Global declines in coral reef calcium carbonate production under ocean acidification and warming
Ocean warming and acidification threaten the future growth of coral reefs. This is because
the calcifying coral reef taxa that construct the calcium carbonate frameworks and cement …

Beyond buying time: the role of plasticity in phenotypic adaptation to rapid environmental change
How populations and species respond to modified environmental conditions is critical to
their persistence both now and into the future, particularly given the increasing pace of …

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 …

A stony coral cell atlas illuminates the molecular and cellular basis of coral symbiosis, calcification, and immunity
Stony corals are colonial cnidarians that sustain the most biodiverse marine ecosystems on
Earth: coral reefs. Despite their ecological importance, little is known about the cell types …

Ecological memory modifies the cumulative impact of recurrent climate extremes
Climate change is radically altering the frequency, intensity and spatial scale of severe
weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts, floods and fires. As the time interval shrinks …

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 …

Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient
Biological responses to climate change have been widely documented across taxa and
regions, but it remains unclear whether species are maintaining a good match between …
