Loss of endosymbiotic algae (“bleaching”) under heat stress has become a major problem
for reef-building corals worldwide. To identify genes that might be involved in triggering or …

The emergence of genomic tools for reef-building corals and symbiotic anemones comes at
a time when alarming losses in coral cover are being observed worldwide. These tools hold …

The declining health of coral reefs worldwide is likely to intensify in response to continued
anthropogenic disturbance from coastal development, pollution, and climate change. In …

Coral bleaching occurs in response to numerous abiotic stressors, the ecologically most
relevant of which is hyperthermic stress due to increasing seawater temperatures. Bleaching …

Climate change is negatively affecting the stability of natural ecosystems, especially coral
reefs. The dissociation of the symbiosis between reef-building corals and their algal …

For reef-building corals, extreme stress exposure can result in loss of endosymbionts,
leaving colonies bleached. However, corals in some habitats are commonly exposed to …

Corals respond to heat pulses that cause bleaching with massive transcriptional change, but
the immediate responses to stress that lead up to these shifts have never been detailed …

As climate change progresses and extreme temperature events increase in frequency, rates
of disturbance may soon outpace the capacity of certain species of reef‐building coral to …

Exposure to deoxygenation from climate warming and pollution is emerging as a
contributing factor of coral bleaching and mortality. However, the combined effects of heating …

Ecological damage from periodic environmental extremes is often repaired in resilient
ecosystems, but the rate of return to a non-damaged state is critical. Measures of recovery of …
