The apparent ability of corals to acquire and maintain enhanced stress tolerance through a
dose-dependent environmental memory, which may persist for multiple years, has critical …

Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them
sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching …

Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

The swiftly changing climate presents a challenge to organismal fitness by creating a
mismatch between the current environment and phenotypes adapted to historic conditions …

The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …

Laboratory experiments and fieldwork with asexually reproducing invertebrates and
vertebrates clearly revealed that animal populations can produce substantial phenotypic …

Environmental stressors are assessed through methods that quantify their impacts on a wide
range of metrics including species density, growth rates, reproduction, behaviour and …

Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation have been shown to participate in plastic
responses to environmental change in a wide range of organisms, including scleractinian …

Coral reefs have been challenged by the current rate and severity of environmental change
that might outpace their ability to adapt and survive. Current research focuses on …

Algal symbiont shuffling in favour of more thermotolerant species has been shown to
enhance coral resistance to heat‐stress. Yet, the mechanistic underpinnings and long‐term …
