Global warming was reported to cause growth reductions in tropical shallow water corals in
both, cooler and warmer, regions of the coral species range. This suggests regional …

The scleractinian cold-water corals (CWC) Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata
represent two major deep-sea reef-forming species that act as key ecosystem engineers …

Thermal stress affects organism performance differently depending on the ambient
temperature to which they are acclimatized, which varies along latitudinal gradients. This …

Evidence has shown that individually feeding or reduced light can mitigate the negative
effects of elevated temperature on coral physiology. We aimed to evaluate if simultaneous …

Coral reef ecosystems worldwide are in decline as a result of climate change and other
anthropogenic impacts. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures are predicted to occur …

Field ecological observations indicate that scleractinian coral exposed to early thermal
stress are likely to develop higher tolerance to subsequent heat stress. The causes of this …

This study tested the effects of acclimatization on the response of corals to elevated
temperature, using juvenile massive Porites spp. and branching P. irregularis from Moorea …

Scleractinian coral populations are increasingly exposed to conditions above their upper
thermal limits due to marine heatwaves, contributing to global declines of coral reef …

Experimental studies of the upper thermal limits of corals from Orpheus Island, an inshore
reef in the central Great Barrier Reef, show that Acropora formosa has a 5-day 50 …

Body size has large effects on organism physiology, but these effects remain poorly
understood in modular animals with complex morphologies. Using two trials of a∼ 24 day …
