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 …

Oceans and coastal ecosystems and their services
Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Highest ocean heat in four centuries places Great Barrier Reef in danger
Mass coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in Australia between 2016 and 2024
was driven by high sea surface temperatures (SST). The likelihood of temperature-induced …

Emergent increase in coral thermal tolerance reduces mass bleaching under climate change
Recurrent mass bleaching events threaten the future of coral reefs. To persist under climate
change, corals will need to endure progressively more intense and frequent marine …

Symbioses are restructured by repeated mass coral bleaching
Survival of symbiotic reef-building corals under global warming requires rapid acclimation or
adaptation. The impact of accumulated heat stress was compared across 1643 symbiont …
