Deoxygenation lowers the thermal threshold of coral bleaching
Exposure to deoxygenation from climate warming and pollution is emerging as a
contributing factor of coral bleaching and mortality. However, the combined effects of heating …

Transcriptomic responses to darkness stress point to common coral bleaching mechanisms
Coral bleaching occurs in response to numerous abiotic stressors, the ecologically most
relevant of which is hyperthermic stress due to increasing seawater temperatures. Bleaching …

Marine heatwaves depress metabolic activity and impair cellular acid–base homeostasis in reef‐building corals regardless of bleaching susceptibility
Ocean warming is causing global coral bleaching events to increase in frequency, resulting
in widespread coral mortality and disrupting the function of coral reef ecosystems. However …

Emergent increase in coral thermal tolerance reduces mass bleaching under climate change
Recurrent mass bleaching events threaten the future of coral reefs. To persist under climate
change, corals will need to endure progressively more intense and frequent marine …

Divergent expression of hypoxia response systems under deoxygenation in reef‐forming corals aligns with bleaching susceptibility
Exposure of marine life to low oxygen is accelerating worldwide via climate change and
localized pollution. Mass coral bleaching and mortality have recently occurred where reefs …

A multi-trait systems approach reveals a response cascade to bleaching in corals
Background Climate change causes the breakdown of the symbiotic relationships between
reef-building corals and their photosynthetic symbionts (genus Symbiodinium), with thermal …

Antioxidant responses to heat and light stress differ with habitat in a common reef coral
Coral bleaching—the stress-induced collapse of the coral–Symbiodinium symbiosis—is a
significant driver of worldwide coral reef degradation. Yet, not all corals are equally …
