Stony corals, the engines and engineers of reef ecosystems, face unprecedented threats
from anthropogenic environmental change. Corals are holobionts that comprise the …

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 …

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 …

Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

Long-term demographic studies at biogeographic transition zones can elucidate how body
size mediates disturbance responses. Focusing on subtropical reefs in eastern Australia, we …

The future of coral reefs in a warming world depends on corals' ability to recover from
bleaching, the loss of their symbiotic dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodiniaceae) during marine …

The congruence between phylogenies of tightly associated groups of organisms
(cophylogeny) reflects evolutionary links between ecologically important interactions …

The Hawaiian Archipelago experienced a moderate bleaching event in 2019—the third
major bleaching event over a 6-year period to impact the islands. In response, the Hawai 'i …

Cryptic species that are morphologically similar co-occur because either the rate of
competitive exclusion is very slow, or because they are not, in fact, ecologically similar. The …

The sustainability of marine ecosystems demands a focus on ecological improvement,
necessitating managers and conservationists to consider a range of actions from those that …
