Ocean temperatures have been accelerating at an alarming rate mainly due to
anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions. This has led to an increase in the severity and duration …

Thermal stress affects organism performance differently depending on the ambient
temperature to which they are acclimatized, which varies along latitudinal gradients. This …

Concomitant to the decline of tropical corals caused by increasing global sea temperatures
is the potential removal of barriers to species range expansions into subtropical and …

Finding coral reefs resilient to climate warming is challenging given the large spatial scale of
reef ecosystems. Methods are needed to predict the location of corals with heritable …

As global temperatures continue to rise, shallow coral reef bleaching has become more
intense and widespread. Mesophotic coral ecosystems reside in deeper (30–150 m), cooler …

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 …

Climate change is expected to have profound, partly unforeseeable effects on the
composition of functional traits of complex ecosystems, such as coral reefs, and some …

Coral bleaching, during which corals lose their symbiotic dinoflagellates, appears to be
increasing in frequency and geographic extent, and is typically associated with abnormally …

Climate changes have increased the intensity/frequency of extreme thermal events, which
represent serious threats to the health of reef-building corals. Since the vulnerability of …

Global warming is rapidly emerging as a universal threat to ecological integrity and function,
highlighting the urgent need for a better understanding of the impact of heat exposure on the …
