Elucidating gene expression adaptation of phylogenetically divergent coral holobionts under heat stress
As coral reefs struggle to survive under climate change, it is crucial to know whether they
have the capacity to withstand changing conditions, particularly increasing seawater …

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 …

Higher daily temperature range at depth is linked with higher thermotolerance in antipatharians from the canary islands
Sensitivity to ocean warming is generally expected to be lower in populations from more
heterogeneous thermal environments, owing to greater phenotypic plasticity and/or …

The potential for temperature acclimatisation of reef corals in the face of climate change
BE Brown, AR Cossins - Coral reefs: an ecosystem in transition, 2011 - Springer
Coral bleaching has taken centre-stage in the debate over the likely biological effects of
global environmental change. Central to any judgements on this issue is the ability of corals …

The costs and benefits of environmental memory for reef-building corals coping with recurring marine heatwaves
Marine heatwaves are occurring more frequently as climate change intensifies, resulting in
global mass coral bleaching events several times per decade. Despite the time between …

Expansion of corals on temperate reefs: direct and indirect effects of marine heatwaves
CA Tuckett, T De Bettignies, J Fromont, T Wernberg - Coral Reefs, 2017 - Springer
Globally, many temperate marine communities have experienced significant temperature
increases over recent decades in the form of gradual warming and heatwaves. As a result …
