The effects of marine heatwaves on acute heat tolerance in corals
Scleractinian coral populations are increasingly exposed to conditions above their upper
thermal limits due to marine heatwaves, contributing to global declines of coral reef …

Within-population variability in coral heat tolerance indicates climate adaptation potential
Coral reefs are facing unprecedented mass bleaching and mortality events due to marine
heatwaves and climate change. To avoid extirpation, corals must adapt. Individual variation …

Marine heatwaves modulate the genotypic and physiological responses of reef‐building corals to subsequent heat stress
Back‐to‐back marine heatwaves in 2016 and 2017 resulted in severe coral bleaching and
mortality across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Encouragingly, some corals that survived …

Fine-scale heterogeneity reveals disproportionate thermal stress and coral mortality in thermally variable reef habitats during a marine heatwave
Increasing ocean temperatures threaten coral reefs globally, but corals residing in habitats
that experience high thermal variability are thought to be better adapted to survive climate …

Acclimatization of massive reef-building corals to consecutive heatwaves
Reef-building corals typically live close to the upper limits of their thermal tolerance and
even small increases in summer water temperatures can lead to bleaching and mortality …

Stress-resistant corals may not acclimatize to ocean warming but maintain heat tolerance under cooler temperatures
Naturally heat-resistant coral populations hold significant potential for facilitating coral reef
survival under rapid climate change. However, it remains poorly understood whether they …

Corals that survive repeated thermal stress show signs of selection and acclimatization
Climate change is transforming coral reefs by increasing the frequency and intensity of
marine heatwaves, often leading to coral bleaching and mortality. Coral communities have …
