Naturally heat-resistant coral populations hold significant potential for facilitating coral reef
survival under rapid climate change. However, it remains poorly understood whether they …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Reef corals are highly sensitive to heat, yet populations resistant to climate change have
recently been identified. To determine the mechanisms of temperature tolerance, we …

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 …

Naturally extreme temperature environments can provide important insights into the
processes underlying coral thermal tolerance. We determined the bleaching resistance of …

Prospects for coral persistence through increasingly frequent and extended heatwaves
seem bleak. Coral recovery from bleaching is only known to occur after temperatures return …

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 …

Coral bleaching events are increasing in frequency and severity, resulting in widespread
losses in coral cover. However, branching corals native to highly variable (HV) thermal …
