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 …

Major bleaching events can lead to increased thermal tolerance in corals
JA Maynard, KRN Anthony, PA Marshall, I Masiri - Marine Biology, 2008 - Springer
Climate change is a major threat to coral reef ecosystems worldwide. A key determinant of
the fate of reef corals in a warming climate is their capacity to tolerate increasing thermal …

[HTML][HTML] 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 …

Do fluctuating temperature environments elevate coral thermal tolerance?
TA Oliver, SR Palumbi - Coral reefs, 2011 - Springer
In reef corals, much research has focused on the capacity of corals to acclimatize and/or
adapt to different thermal environments, but the majority of work has focused on distinctions …
