Adaptation of reef-building corals to global warming depends upon standing heritable
variation in tolerance traits upon which selection can act. Yet limited knowledge exists on …

There is growing evidence that reef-building corals can acclimate to novel and challenging
thermal conditions. However, potential trade-offs that accompany acclimation remain largely …

Understanding species distribution and the related driving processes is a fundamental issue
in ecology. However, incomplete data on reef-building corals in the ecoregions of the South …

Corals associate with a diverse community of prokaryotic symbionts that provide nutrition,
antioxidants and other protective compounds to their host. However, the influence of …

Earth's ecological assemblages are rapidly being driven towards unprecedented, novel
states. We know little about ecological novelty in our oceans, limiting our ability to detect …

Biodiversity underpins ecosystem stability and the provision of ecosystem services. As the
foundation species for the most biodiverse ecosystem, reef-building corals are under threat …

The capacity of reef-building corals to adapt to global warming depends upon standing
heritable variation in tolerance traits upon which selection can act. While heat tolerance is …

Physiological changes in corals along an environmental gradient can shift the outcomes of
biotic interactions (ie, which corals are more competitive or the effects of competition on …

Freshwater inputs contribute anthropogenic pollutants, nutrients, and other inorganic and
organic compounds to coastal ecosystems including estuaries, mangroves, seagrass beds …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas emitted from coastal marshes. It is well understood that
sea-level rise both affects methane emissions directly and indirectly through shifts in plant …
