Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

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 …

Coral disease has progressively become one of the most pressing issues affecting coral reef
survival. In the last 50 years, several reefs throughout the Caribbean have been severely …

Corals access inorganic seawater nutrients through their autotrophic endosymbiotic
dinoflagellates, but also capture planktonic prey through heterotrophic feeding. Correlating …

Global-and local-scale anthropogenic stressors have been the main drivers of coral reef
decline, causing shifts in coral reef community composition and ecosystem functioning …

Global reef degradation is a critical environmental health issue that has triggered intensive
research on ocean warming, but the implications of emerging contaminants in coral habitats …

Gene expression biomarkers can enable rapid assessment of physiological conditions in
situ, providing a valuable tool for reef managers interested in linking organism physiology …

Although most reef-building corals live near the upper threshold of their thermotolerance,
some scleractinians are resilient to temperature increases. For instance, Pocillopora acuta …

Ocean warming induced by climate change is the greatest threat to the persistence of coral
reefs globally. Given the current rate of ocean warming, there may not be sufficient time for …

Although rising ocean temperatures threaten scleractinian corals and the reefs they
construct, certain reef corals can acclimate to elevated temperatures to which they are rarely …
