Coral reefs worldwide are threatened by thermal stress caused by climate change.
Especially devastating periods of coral loss frequently occur during El Niño‐Southern …

Ocean warming is causing declines of coral reefs globally, raising critical questions about
the potential for corals to adapt. In the central equatorial Pacific, reefs persisting through …

The sudden and sporadic occurrence of anomalous conditions associated with El Niño-
Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can precipitate diverse, immediate and long-term effects on …

Tropical corals live close to their upper thermal limit making them vulnerable to unusually
warm summer sea temperatures. The resulting thermal stress can lead to breakdown of the …

Frequent occurrences of coral bleaching and associated coral mortality over recent decades
have raised concerns about the survival of coral reefs in a warming planet. The El Niño …

Increasing heat stress due to global climate change is causing coral reef decline, and the
Caribbean has been one of the most vulnerable regions. Here, we assessed three decades …

Corals of the eastern tropical Pacific live in a marginal and oceanographically dynamic
environment. Along the Pacific coast of Panamá, stronger seasonal upwelling in the Gulf of …

In light of rapid environmental change, quantifying the contribution of regional‐and local‐
scale drivers of coral persistence is necessary to characterize fully the resilience of coral reef …

Protracted high sea temperature anomalies accompanying El Niño-Southern Oscillation
(ENSO) events have caused reef-building coral bleaching (loss of zooxanthellae) and …

Impacts of global climate change on coral reefs are being amplified by pulse heat stress
events, including El Niño, the warm phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) …
