Today, warm-water coral reefs are limited to tropical-to-subtropical latitudes. These diverse
ecosystems extended further poleward in the geological past, but the mechanisms driving …

Coral reefs track sea level and are particularly sensitive to changes in climate. Reefs are
threatened by global warming, with many experiencing increased coral bleaching. Warmer …

Concomitant to the decline of tropical corals caused by increasing global sea temperatures
is the potential removal of barriers to species range expansions into subtropical and …

Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by thermal bleaching and tropical storm events
associated with rising sea surface temperatures. Deeper habitats offer some protection from …

Without drastic efforts to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate globalized stressors, tropical
coral reefs are in jeopardy. Strategic conservation and management requires identification …

Regional anthropogenic processes such as pollution, dredging, and overfishing on coral
reefs currently threaten the biodiversity of stony corals and other reef‐associated organisms …

Rising ocean temperatures have reduced rates of coral calcification and increased rates of
coral mortality, thereby negatively impacting the health of coral reef ecosystems …

Globally, many temperate marine communities have experienced significant temperature
increases over recent decades in the form of gradual warming and heatwaves. As a result …

Scleractinian (hard) corals are fundamental to the geomorphology, biodiversity, and
structure of coral reef ecosystems (Goreau 1963, Hoegh-Guldberg 2004, Pratchett et al …

Through the continuous growth of their carbonate skeletons, corals record information about
past environmental conditions and their effect on colony fitness. Here, we characterize …
