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 …

[HTML][HTML] Corals at the edge of environmental limits: A new conceptual framework to re-define marginal and extreme coral communities
The worldwide decline of coral reefs has renewed interest in coral communities at the edge
of environmental limits because they have the potential to serve as resilience hotspots and …

Coral recruitment: patterns and processes determining the dynamics of coral populations
PJ Edmunds - Biological Reviews, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Decadal demographic shifts and size-dependent disturbance responses of corals in a subtropical warming hotspot
Long-term demographic studies at biogeographic transition zones can elucidate how body
size mediates disturbance responses. Focusing on subtropical reefs in eastern Australia, we …

Regional and global climate risks for reef corals: Incorporating species‐specific vulnerability and exposure to climate hazards
Climate change is driving rapid and widespread erosion of the environmental conditions that
formerly supported species persistence. Existing projections of climate change typically …

Learning from the past is not enough to survive present and future bleaching threshold temperatures
S Keshavmurthy, TR Chen, PJ Liu, JT Wang… - Science of The Total …, 2022 - Elsevier
In the past decade, the frequency of mass coral bleaching events has increased due to
seawater temperature anomalies persisting for longer periods. Coral survival from …

Ploidy variation and its implications for reproduction and population dynamics in two sympatric Hawaiian coral species
Standing genetic variation is a major driver of fitness and resilience and therefore of
fundamental importance for threatened species such as stony corals. We analyzed RNA-seq …

Linking population size structure, heat stress and bleaching responses in a subtropical endemic coral
Anthropocene coral reefs are faced with increasingly severe marine heatwaves and mass
coral bleaching mortality events. The ensuing demographic changes to coral assemblages …

Net effects of life‐history traits explain persistent differences in abundance among similar species
Life‐history traits are promising tools to predict species commonness and rarity because
they influence a population's fitness in a given environment. Yet, species with similar traits …

The Young and the Resilient: Investigating coral thermal resilience in early life stages
Global ocean warming is affecting keystone species distributions and fitness, resulting in the
degradation of marine ecosystems. Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and productive …
