Climate change driven increases in intensity and frequency of both hot and cold extreme
events contribute to coral reef decline by causing widespread coral bleaching and mortality …

Ocean warming and acidification from increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 represent major
global threats to coral reefs, and are in many regions exacerbated by local‐scale …

The genetic enhancement of wild animals and plants for characteristics that benefit human
populations has been practiced for thousands of years, resulting in impressive …

The great sensitivity of coral reefs to climate change has raised concern over their resilience.
An emerging body of resilience theory stems largely from research carried out in a single …

Coral reefs are deteriorating under climate change as oceans continue to warm and acidify
and thermal anomalies grow in frequency and intensity. In vitro experiments are widely used …

The mass die‐off of Caribbean corals has transformed many of this region's reefs to
macroalgal‐dominated habitats since systematic monitoring began in the 1970s. Although …

Climate-induced coral bleaching is among the greatest current threats to coral reefs, causing
widespread loss of live coral cover. Conditions under which reefs bounce back from …

Climate-change impacts on coral reefs are expected to include temperature-induced
spatially extensive bleaching events. Bleaching causes mortality when temperature stress …

Globally, many temperate marine communities have experienced significant temperature
increases over recent decades in the form of gradual warming and heatwaves. As a result …
