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

Coral research is being ushered into the genomic era. To fully capitalize on the potential
discoveries from this genomic revolution, the rapidly increasing number of high-quality …

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) …

Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

Climate change–amplified marine heatwaves can drive extensive mortality in foundation
species. However, a paucity of longitudinal genomic datasets has impeded understanding of …

A well-supported evolutionary tree representing most major lineages of scleractinian corals
is in sight with the development and application of phylogenomic approaches. Specifically …

Reef‐building corals in the genus Porites are one of the most important constituents of Indo‐
Pacific reefs. Many species within this genus tolerate abnormally warm water and exhibit …

Widespread coral bleaching occurred in the central Red Sea in 2010 and 2015. During both
events, a cross-shelf and depth gradient of bleaching severity was identified within the …

Introduction The Red Sea is a narrow rift basin characterized by latitudinal environmental
gradients which shape the diversity and distribution of reef-dwelling organisms. Studies on …

Introduction The northern Red Sea has been coined a refuge for reef corals due to the
exceptional thermal tolerance of these organisms. With ocean warming threatening coral …
