Corals associate not only with dinoflagellates, which are their algal endosymbionts and
which have been extensively studied over the past four decades, but also with a variety of …

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 …

Corals from the northern Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba exhibit extreme thermal tolerance. To
examine the underlying gene expression dynamics, we exposed Stylophora pistillata from …

Severe marine heatwaves have recently become a common feature of global ocean
conditions due to a rapidly changing climate [1, 2]. These increasingly severe thermal …

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 …

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

The intestinal microbiome influences host health, and its responsiveness to diet and disease
is increasingly well studied. However, our understanding of the factors driving microbiome …

Global degradation of coral reefs has increased the urgency of identifying stress-tolerant
coral populations, to enhance understanding of the biology driving stress tolerance, as well …

Although coral bleaching caused by high temperatures has attracted great concern, the
response of the coral microbiome to bleaching has not been thoroughly explored. In this …

Coral bleaching due to global warming currently is the largest threat to coral reefs, which
may be exacerbated by altered water quality. Elevated levels of the UV filter oxybenzone in …
