Coral reefs are under extreme threat due to a number of stressors, but temperature
increases due to changing climate are the most severe. Rising ocean temperatures coupled …

Coral reefs are among the world's most endangered ecosystems. Coral mortality can result
from ocean warming or other climate-related events such as coral bleaching and intense …

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 …

Quantifying the role of biophysical and anthropogenic drivers of coral reef ecosystem
processes can inform management strategies that aim to maintain or restore ecosystem …

Marginal reef habitats are regarded as regions where coral reefs and coral communities
reflect the effects of steady-state or long-term average environmental limitations. We used …

Ocean acidification, climate change, and other environmental stressors threaten coral reef
ecosystems and the people who depend upon them. New science reveals that these …

Climate change threatens coral reefs by causing heat stress events that lead to widespread
coral bleaching and mortality. Given the global nature of these mass coral mortality events …

Following a series of mass-bleaching events that have seriously degraded coral reefs,
notably the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, a common narrative is now dominating the …

Coral reefs provide food and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people as well as
harbour some of the highest regions of biodiversity in the ocean. However, overexploitation …

The frequency, intensity, and spatial scale of climate extremes are changing rapidly due to
anthropogenic global warming. 1, 2 A growing research challenge is to understand how …
