Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

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 …

Stony corals are colonial cnidarians that sustain the most biodiverse marine ecosystems on
Earth: coral reefs. Despite their ecological importance, little is known about the cell types …

Ocean warming threatens corals and the coral reef ecosystem. Nevertheless, corals can be
adapted to their thermal environment and inherit heat tolerance across generations. In …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Theory suggests that evolutionary changes in phenotypic plasticity could either hinder or
facilitate evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. Nevertheless, the actual role of evolving …

The symbiotic association between the coral animal and its endosymbiotic dinoflagellate
partner Symbiodinium is central to the success of corals. However, an array of other …

Thermal refugia underpin climate-smart management of coral reefs, but whether current
thermal refugia will remain so under future warming is uncertain. We use statistical …

Many ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global
pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs …

Coral bleaching is the detrimental expulsion of algal symbionts from their cnidarian hosts,
and predominantly occurs when corals are exposed to thermal stress. The incidence and …
