Background Coral reefs face increasing pressures particularly when on the edge of their
distributions. The Houtman Abrolhos Islands (Abrolhos) are the southernmost coral reef …

Severe bleaching events caused by marine heat waves over the past four decades have
now affected almost every coral reef ecosystem in the world. These recurring events have …

Background The rising temperature of the world's oceans has become a major threat to coral
reefs globally as the severity and frequency of mass coral bleaching and mortality events …

Coral bleaching is a stress‐related response that can be triggered by elevated sea surface
temperatures (SST). Recent increases in the frequency of coral bleaching have led to …

Western Australia's coral reefs have largely escaped the chronic pressures affecting other
reefs around the world, but are regularly affected by seasonal storms and cyclones, and …

Bleaching and associated mortality is an extreme threat to the persistence of coral
populations in the projected warming regime of the next few decades. Recent evidence …

Coral bleaching is well documented on shallow, tropical reefs; however, there are few
published records of coral bleaching on high latitude (> 26), deeper (> 20 m) reefs (see …

Ocean warming threatens the functioning of coral reef ecosystems by inducing mass coral
bleaching and mortality events. The link between temperature and coral bleaching is now …

Abstract Abstract: In 2015–2016, record temperatures triggered a pan‐tropical episode of
coral bleaching. In the southern hemisphere summer of March–April 2016, we used aerial …

Coral reefs are threatened by climate change on a global scale with thermal stress events
and mass coral bleaching being widely reported. The reefs off the east coast of Brazil (and …
