[HTML][HTML] High frequency temperature variability reduces the risk of coral bleaching
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 …

Coral environmental memory: causes, mechanisms, and consequences for future reefs
The apparent ability of corals to acquire and maintain enhanced stress tolerance through a
dose-dependent environmental memory, which may persist for multiple years, has critical …

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 …

Towards enhancing coral heat tolerance: a “microbiome transplantation” treatment using inoculations of homogenized coral tissues
Background Microbiome manipulation could enhance heat tolerance and help corals
survive the pressures of ocean warming. We conducted coral microbiome transplantation …

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 …

Coral bleaching patterns are the outcome of complex biological and environmental networking
Continued declines in coral reef health over the past three decades have been punctuated
by severe mass coral bleaching‐induced mortality events that have grown in intensity and …
