In the last two decades, genetic and genomic studies have revealed the astonishing
diversity and ubiquity of microorganisms. Emergence and expansion of the human …

A changing climate is driving increasingly common and prolonged marine heatwaves
(MHWs) and these extreme events have now been widely documented to severely impact …

Recent advances in DNA-sequencing technologies now allow for in-depth characterization
of the genomic stress responses of many organisms beyond model taxa. They are especially …

Coral bleaching events threaten the sustainability of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Here we
show that bleaching events of the past three decades have been mitigated by induced …

Finding coral reefs resilient to climate warming is challenging given the large spatial scale of
reef ecosystems. Methods are needed to predict the location of corals with heritable …

Coral reefs provide habitats for a disproportionate number of marine species relative to the
small area of the oceans that they occupy. The mutualism between the cnidarian animal …

Exposure of marine life to low oxygen is accelerating worldwide via climate change and
localized pollution. Mass coral bleaching and mortality have recently occurred where reefs …

Certain stony corals can alternate between a calcifying colonial form and noncalcifying
solitary polyps, supporting the hypothesis that corals have survived through geologic …

Bivalves play vital roles in marine, brackish, freshwater and terrestrial habitats. In recent
years, these ecosystems have become affected through anthropogenic activities. The …

Thermal priming of reef corals can enhance their heat tolerance; however, the legacy effects
of heat stress during parental brooding on larval resilience remain understudied. This study …
