The costs and benefits of environmental memory for reef-building corals coping with recurring marine heatwaves
Marine heatwaves are occurring more frequently as climate change intensifies, resulting in
global mass coral bleaching events several times per decade. Despite the time between …

Divergent bleaching and recovery trajectories in reef-building corals following a decade of successive marine heatwaves
Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves are devastating coral reefs. Corals that survive
these extreme events must rapidly recover if they are to withstand subsequent events, and …

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 …

The potential for temperature acclimatisation of reef corals in the face of climate change
BE Brown, AR Cossins - Coral reefs: an ecosystem in transition, 2011 - Springer
Coral bleaching has taken centre-stage in the debate over the likely biological effects of
global environmental change. Central to any judgements on this issue is the ability of corals …

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 …

No apparent trade-offs associated with heat tolerance in a reef-building coral
As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong
selection. Yet trade-offs between heat tolerance and other life history traits could …

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 …
