The apparent ability of corals to acquire and maintain enhanced stress tolerance through a
dose-dependent environmental memory, which may persist for multiple years, has critical …

Corallivory is the predation of coral mucus, tissue, and skeleton by fishes and invertebrates,
and a source of chronic stress for many reef-building coral species. Corallivores often prey …

Background Microbiome manipulation could enhance heat tolerance and help corals
survive the pressures of ocean warming. We conducted coral microbiome transplantation …

Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …

Rising seawater temperature and ocean acidification threaten the survival of coral reefs. The
relationship between coral physiology and its microbiome may reveal why some corals are …

Naturally heat-resistant coral populations hold significant potential for facilitating coral reef
survival under rapid climate change. However, it remains poorly understood whether they …

The extent to which populations persist under environmental stress depends on the
reproductive output of individuals that survive the stress. In coral systems, corals bleach in …

Many Caribbean coral reefs are near collapse due to various threats. An emerging threat,
stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), is spreading across the Western Atlantic and …

Symbiotic scleractinian corals are particularly affected by climate change stress and respond
by bleaching (losing their symbiotic dinoflagellate partners). Recently, the energetic status of …

Ocean deoxygenation threatens the persistence of coastal ecosystems worldwide. Despite
an increasing awareness that coastal deoxygenation impacts tropical habitats, there …
