Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMC): proposed mechanisms for coral health and resilience
The symbiotic association between the coral animal and its endosymbiotic dinoflagellate
partner Symbiodinium is central to the success of corals. However, an array of other …

Rapid adaptive responses to climate change in corals
Pivotal to projecting the fate of coral reefs is the capacity of reef-building corals to
acclimatize and adapt to climate change. Transgenerational plasticity may enable some …

Enhancing the heat tolerance of reef-building corals to future warming
Reef-building corals thriving in extreme thermal environments may provide genetic variation
that can assist the evolution of populations to rapid climate warming. However, the feasibility …

Coral bleaching patterns are the outcome of complex biological and environmental networking
DJ Suggett, DJ Smith - Global Change Biology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Continued declines in coral reef health over the past three decades have been punctuated
by severe mass coral bleaching‐induced mortality events that have grown in intensity and …

Thermal refugia against coral bleaching throughout the northern Red Sea
Tropical reefs have been impacted by thermal anomalies caused by global warming that
induced coral bleaching and mortality events globally. However, there have only been very …

Deep reefs are not universal refuges: reseeding potential varies among coral species
P Bongaerts, C Riginos, R Brunner, N Englebert… - Science …, 2017 - science.org
Deep coral reefs (that is, mesophotic coral ecosystems) can act as refuges against major
disturbances affecting shallow reefs. It has been proposed that, through the provision of …

Coral reef population genomics in an age of global change
Coral reefs are both exceptionally biodiverse and threatened by climate change and other
human activities. Here, we review population genomic processes in coral reef taxa and their …
