Marine heat waves instigated by anthropogenic climate change are causing increasingly
frequent and severe coral bleaching events that often lead to widespread coral mortality …

Severe bleaching events caused by marine heat waves over the past four decades have
now affected almost every coral reef ecosystem in the world. These recurring events have …

Increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are raising sea surface temperature (SST) and
causing ocean acidification (OA). While higher SST increases the frequency of mass coral …

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 …

Warm-water growth and survival of corals are constrained by a set of environmental
conditions such as temperature, light, nutrient levels and salinity. Water temperatures of 1 to …

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 …

Global climate change is altering coral reef ecosystems. Notably, marine heatwaves are
producing widespread coral bleaching events that are increasing in frequency, with …

Mass coral bleaching represents one of the greatest threats to coral reefs and has mainly
been attributed to seawater warming. However, reduced water quality can also interact with …

The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …

The relationship between thermal stress and coral bleaching has been a topic of study for
decades, yet there is still a mismatch between remotely sensed bleaching predictors and …
