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 …

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 …

Symbiotic scleractinian corals are particularly affected by climate change stress and respond
by bleaching (losing their symbiotic dinoflagellate partners). Recently, the energetic status of …

Coral communities can survive in stressful environments; however, the mechanisms corals
employ to endure challenging conditions are poorly understood. This study assessed how …

Depth is used often as a proxy for gradients in energetic resources on coral reefs and for
predicting patterns of community energy use. With increasing depth, loss of light can lead to …

Corals obtain nutrition from the photosynthetic products of their algal endosymbionts and the
ingestion of organic material and zooplankton from the water column. Here, we use stable …

Ocean warming and the increased prevalence of coral bleaching events threaten coral
reefs. However, the biology of corals during and following bleaching events under field …

Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems characterised by biogenic three‐
dimensional structures formed by suspension feeders such as corals, gorgonians, sponges …

Mass coral bleaching is increasing in frequency and severity, leading to the loss of coral
abundance and diversity. However, some corals are less susceptible to bleaching than …

As climate change progresses and extreme temperature events increase in frequency, rates
of disturbance may soon outpace the capacity of certain species of reef‐building coral to …
