Coral microbiome composition along the northern Red Sea suggests high plasticity of bacterial and specificity of endosymbiotic dinoflagellate communities
Background The capacity of reef-building corals to tolerate (or adapt to) heat stress is a key
factor determining their resilience to future climate change. Changes in coral microbiome …

Marine heatwave causes unprecedented regional mass bleaching of thermally resistant corals in northwestern Australia
Abstract In 2015/16, a marine heatwave associated with a record El Niño led to the third
global mass bleaching event documented to date. This event impacted coral reefs around …
