Coral‐bleaching responses to climate change across biological scales
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 …

Nutrient availability and metabolism affect the stability of coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbioses
Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them
sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching …

Considerations for maximizing the adaptive potential of restored coral populations in the western Atlantic
Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

The cumulative impact of annual coral bleaching can turn some coral species winners into losers
Mass coral bleaching events caused by elevated seawater temperatures result in extensive
coral loss throughout the tropics, and are projected to increase in frequency and severity. If …

Trophic strategy and bleaching resistance in reef-building corals
Ocean warming increases the incidence of coral bleaching, which reduces or eliminates the
nutrition corals receive from their algal symbionts, often resulting in widespread mortality. In …

A research review of interventions to increase the persistence and resilience of coral reefs
National Academies of Sciences, Life Studies… - 2019 - books.google.com
Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

Energetic and reproductive costs of coral recovery in divergent bleaching responses
Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …

Coral physiology and microbiome dynamics under combined warming and ocean acidification
Rising seawater temperature and ocean acidification threaten the survival of coral reefs. The
relationship between coral physiology and its microbiome may reveal why some corals are …

Scleractinian coral microplastic ingestion: potential calcification effects, size limits, and retention
C Hankins, A Duffy, K Drisco - Marine pollution bulletin, 2018 - Elsevier
The impact that microplastics (< 5 mm) have on scleractinian coral is largely unknown. This
study investigated calcification effects, size limits, and retention times of microbeads and …

Within-population variability in coral heat tolerance indicates climate adaptation potential
Coral reefs are facing unprecedented mass bleaching and mortality events due to marine
heatwaves and climate change. To avoid extirpation, corals must adapt. Individual variation …
