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 …

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 …

Size‐dependent mortality of corals during marine heatwave erodes recovery capacity of a coral reef
For many long‐lived taxa, such as trees and corals, older, and larger individuals often have
the lowest mortality and highest fecundity. However, climate change‐driven disturbances …
