Climate change scenarios suggest an increase in tropical ocean temperature by 1–3° C by
2099, potentially killing many coral reefs. But Arabian/Persian Gulf corals already exist in …

Climate change is expected to have profound, partly unforeseeable effects on the
composition of functional traits of complex ecosystems, such as coral reefs, and some …

Rising ocean temperatures have reduced rates of coral calcification and increased rates of
coral mortality, thereby negatively impacting the health of coral reef ecosystems …

Coral reefs are facing unprecedented mass bleaching and mortality events due to marine
heatwaves and climate change. To avoid extirpation, corals must adapt. Individual variation …

Coral reefs are found in a wide range of environments, where they provide food and habitat
to a large range of organisms as well as providing many other ecological goods and …

Global climate change and localized anthropogenic stressors are driving rapid declines in
coral reef health. In vitro experiments have been fundamental in providing insight into how …

Coral reefs are a globally threatened ecosystem due to a range of anthropogenic impacts.
Increasing sea surface temperatures associated with global warming are a particular threat …

Naturally heat-resistant coral populations hold significant potential for facilitating coral reef
survival under rapid climate change. However, it remains poorly understood whether they …

Reef corals are highly sensitive to heat, yet populations resistant to climate change have
recently been identified. To determine the mechanisms of temperature tolerance, we …

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 …
