Along the Norwegian coasts and margins, extensive reefs of the stony coral Lophelia
pertusa act as hotspots for local biodiversity. Climate models project that the temperature of …

SYNOPSIS. The ability of scleractinian corals to survive changes that are predicted in the
global environment over the next century will lie in their physiological mechanisms of …

It has become critically important to identify environmental drivers of enhanced thermal
tolerance in coral populations as ocean warming threatens the persistence of coral reef …

Predicting the fate of coral reefs in an era of global warming requires an improved
understanding of the potential mechanisms of acclimatisation and adaptation that may …

The response of scleractinian recruits to rising temperature will play an important role in
determining how coral populations will be affected by global climate change, yet …

Knowledge of the degree to which corals undergo physiological acclimatization or genetic
adaptation in response to changes in their thermal environment is crucial to the success of …

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

Studying the mechanisms that enable coral populations to inhabit spatially varying thermal
environments can help evaluate how they will respond in time to the effects of global climate …

The physiological response to individual and combined stressors of elevated temperature
and p CO2 were measured over a 24-day period in four Pacific corals and their respective …

The broad-scale ecology of coral bleaching and coral upper thermal limits were investigated
to improve the basis for risk assessment and prediction of possible climate change effects on …
