Standardized Methods to Assess the Impacts of Thermal Stress on Coral Reef Marine Life
The Earth's oceans have absorbed more than 90% of the excess, climate change–induced
atmospheric heat. The resulting rise in oceanic temperatures affects all species and can …

Reconciling the variability in the biological response of marine invertebrates to climate change
Z Dellaert, HM Putnam - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 - journals.biologists.com
As climate change increases the rate of environmental change and the frequency and
intensity of disturbance events, selective forces intensify. However, given the complicated …

Divergent bleaching and recovery trajectories in reef-building corals following a decade of successive marine heatwaves
Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves are devastating coral reefs. Corals that survive
these extreme events must rapidly recover if they are to withstand subsequent events, and …

Corals that survive repeated thermal stress show signs of selection and acclimatization
Climate change is transforming coral reefs by increasing the frequency and intensity of
marine heatwaves, often leading to coral bleaching and mortality. Coral communities have …

Using Community Composition and Successional Theory to Guide Site‐Specific Coral Reef Management
High spatial or temporal variability in community composition makes it challenging for
natural resource managers to predict ecosystem trajectories at scales relevant to …

Coral histology reveals consistent declines in tissue integrity during a marine heatwave despite differences in bleaching severity
Marine heatwaves are starting to occur several times a decade, yet we do not understand
the effect this has on corals across biological scales. This study combines tissue-, organism …
