Standardized short‐term acute heat stress assays resolve historical differences in coral thermotolerance across microhabitat reef sites
Coral bleaching is one of the main drivers of reef degradation. Most corals bleach and suffer
mortality at just 1–2° C above their maximum monthly mean temperatures, but some species …

Early Transcriptional Responses during Heat Stress in the Coral Acropora hyacinthus
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 …

Annual thermal stress increases a soft coral's susceptibility to bleaching
Like scleractinian corals, soft corals contain photosymbionts (Family Symbiodiniaceae) that
provide energy for the host. Recent thermal events have resulted in soft coral bleaching in …

Nutrient-supplying ocean currents modulate coral bleaching susceptibility
With predictions that mass coral bleaching will occur annually within this century,
conservation efforts must focus their limited resources based on an accurate understanding …
