Bleaching in corals due to environmental stress represents a loss of energy intake often
leading to an increase in mortality risk. Successful coral recovery from severe bleaching …

The mutualistic relationship between corals and their unicellular dinoflagellate symbionts
(Symbiodinium sp.) is a fundamental component within the ecology of coral reefs. Thermal …

Recurrent mass bleaching events are pushing coral reefs worldwide to the brink of
ecological collapse. While the symptoms and consequences of this breakdown of the coral …

Coral species are better able to survive bleaching events with heterotrophic feeding, which
raises the level of lipid provisions and coral resilience against stress episodes. We report …

Coral bleaching induces changes in lipid and fatty acid composition that result in low lipid
content, reducing the likelihood of coral survival. Species-specific differences in the …

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 …

The prevalence of global coral bleaching has focused much attention on the possibility of
interventions to increase heat resistance. However, if high heat resistance is linked to fitness …

Scleractinian corals form the foundation of coral reefs by acquiring autotrophic nutrition from
photosynthetic endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) and use feeding to obtain additional …

In reef corals, much research has focused on the capacity of corals to acclimatize and/or
adapt to different thermal environments, but the majority of work has focused on distinctions …

Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …
