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 …

The current coral reefs crisis is motivating a number of innovative projects attempting to
leverage new mechanisms to avoid coral bleaching, reduce coral mortality and restore …

Frequent marine heatwaves (MHWs), concurrent with climate warming, threaten global low-
latitude, pristine coral reefs, leading to growing interest in identifying marginal coral reefs …

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

Abstract Southwestern Atlantic reefs (Brazilian Province) occur along a broad latitudinal
range (∼ 5° N-27° S) and under varied environmental conditions. We combined large-scale …

Turbidity from land-based runoff has been identified as a possible driver of coral bleaching
refugia, as particulate matter in turbid habitats may block excessive irradiance and alter the …

Reef-building corals show a marked decrease in total species richness from the tropics to
high latitude regions. Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for this pattern in …

Sediments are ubiquitous on coral reefs. However, studies of reef sediments have largely
focused on isolated reservoirs, or processes, and rarely consider hydrodynamic drivers. We …

Reducing the global reliance on fossil fuels is essential to ensure the long-term survival of
coral reefs, but until this happens, alternative tools are required to safeguard their future …

The impacts of climate change are becoming more evident in recent years. Future
projections suggest that heat stress events will likely be more frequent and severe over the …
