Characterising ocean temperature variability and extremes is fundamental for understanding
the thermal bounds in which marine ecosystems have adapted. While there is growing …

Understanding the distribution and abundance of heat tolerant corals across seascapes is
imperative for predicting responses to climate change and to support novel management …

Anthropogenic climate change threatens corals globally and both high and low
temperatures are known to induce coral bleaching. However, coral stress responses across …

Increasing seawater temperatures are expected to have profound consequences for reef-
building corals' physiology. Understanding how demography changes in response to …

Coral reefs are amongst the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth, and while stony corals
create the foundational complexity of these ecosystems, octocorals and anemones …

Reef-building corals usually form a symbiotic relationship with various photosynthetic
dinoflagellates, which may determine the physiology and stress tolerance of their hosts. The …

Adaptation and/or acclimatization through various mechanisms have been suggested to
help some tropical coral species to overcome temperature-induced bleaching that is …

Widespread coral bleaching and mortality, leading to coral reef decline, have been mainly
associated with climate-change-driven increases in sea surface temperature. However …

Background Living organisms face ubiquitous pathogenic threats and have consequently
evolved immune systems to protect against potential invaders. However, many components …

The symbiosis between corals and dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae is sensitive
to environmental stress. The oxidative bleaching hypothesis posits that extreme …
