Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

Coral reefs are highly diverse ecosystems that thrive in nutrient-poor waters, a phenomenon
frequently referred to as the Darwin paradox. The energy demand of coral animal hosts can …

The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

Reef-building corals are critically important species that are threatened by anthropogenic
stresses including climate change. In attempts to understand corals' responses to stress and …

Abstract Corals in the Arabian/Persian Gulf endure summer temperatures of up to 36° C,
making them ideal subjects to study the mechanisms underlying thermal tolerance …

Widespread temperature stress has caused catastrophic coral bleaching events that have
been devastating for coral reefs. Here, we evaluate whether coral fluorescence could be …

Coral reefs in the tropical Pacific region are exposed to a range of anthropogenic local
pressures. Climate change is exacerbating local impacts, causing unprecedented declines …

Coral bleaching, caused by the loss of brownish-colored dinoflagellate photosymbionts from
the host tissue of reef-building corals, is a major threat to reef survival. Occasionally …

Abstract Increasing levels of Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) alter the natural diel cycles of
organisms at global scale. ALAN constitutes a potential threat to the light-dependent …
