Animals and plants are metaorganisms and associate with microbes that affect their
physiology, stress tolerance, and fitness. Here the hypothesis that alteration of the …

Thermal stress increases community diversity, community variability, and the abundance of
potentially pathogenic microbial taxa in the coral microbiome. Nutrient pollution, such as …

Perturbations in natural systems generally are the combination of multiple interactions
among individual stressors. However, methods to interpret the effects of interacting stressors …

While evidence for the role of the microbiome in shaping host stress tolerance is becoming
well-established, to what extent this depends on the interaction between the host and its …

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

Coral reefs globally are increasingly impacted by climate change. High temperature and p
CO2 levels disrupt multiple physiological and biochemical pathways in marine organisms …

The global decline of coral reefs heightens the need to understand how corals respond to
changing environmental conditions. Corals are metaorganisms, so-called holobionts, and …

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

Ocean warming threatens corals and the coral reef ecosystem. Nevertheless, corals can be
adapted to their thermal environment and inherit heat tolerance across generations. In …

For ecosystems vulnerable to environmental change, understanding the spatiotemporal
stability of functionally crucial symbioses is fundamental to determining the mechanisms by …
