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 …

Optimal nutrient exchange and immune responses operate in partner specificity in the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis
The relationship between corals and dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium is
fundamental to the functioning of coral ecosystems. It has been suggested that reef corals …

The Coral Trait Database, a curated database of trait information for coral species from the global oceans
Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

Gene expression under chronic heat stress in populations of the mustard hill coral (Porites astreoides) from different thermal environments
Recent evidence suggests that corals can acclimatize or adapt to local stress factors through
differential regulation of their gene expression. Profiling gene expression in corals from …

Investigating the causes and consequences of symbiont shuffling in a multi-partner reef coral symbiosis under environmental change
Dynamic symbioses may critically mediate impacts of climate change on diverse organisms,
with repercussions for ecosystem persistence in some cases. On coral reefs, increases in …
