Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and
economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change …

The global loss and degradation of coral reefs, as a result of intensified frequency and
severity of bleaching events, is a major concern. Evidence of heat stress affecting corals …

Coral bleaching is the single largest global threat to coral reefs worldwide. Integrating the
diverse body of work on coral bleaching is critical to understanding and combating this …

Ocean warming is resulting in increased occurrence of mass coral bleaching; a response in
which the intracellular algal endosymbionts (Symbiodinium sp.) are expelled from the coral …

Symbiosis with unicellular algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae is common across tropical
marine invertebrates. Reef-building corals offer a clear example of cellular dysfunction …

Reef corals are sensitive to thermal stress, which induces coral bleaching (the loss of algal
symbionts), often leading to coral mortality. However, corals hosting certain symbionts …

Coral reefs across the globe are threatened by warming oceans. The last few years have
seen the worst mass coral bleaching events recorded, with more than one quarter of all reefs …

Reef‐building corals in the genus Porites are one of the most important constituents of Indo‐
Pacific reefs. Many species within this genus tolerate abnormally warm water and exhibit …

Among the most successful microeukaryotes to form mutualisms with animals are
dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae. These photosynthetic symbioses drive …

The dinoflagellate-coral partnership influences the coral holobiont's tolerance to thermal
stress and bleaching. However, the comparative roles of host genetic versus environmental …
