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 …

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

The response of coral-reef ecosystems to contemporary thermal stress may be in part a
consequence of recent or historical sea-surface temperature (SST) variability. To test this …

The relationship between thermal stress and coral bleaching has been a topic of study for
decades, yet there is still a mismatch between remotely sensed bleaching predictors and …

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 …

Increasing seawater temperatures are expected to have profound consequences for reef-
building corals' physiology. Understanding how demography changes in response to …

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

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 …

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 …

Urgent action is needed to prevent the demise of coral reefs as the climate crisis leads to an
increasingly warmer and more acidic ocean. Propagating climate change–resistant corals to …
