Energetic and reproductive costs of coral recovery in divergent bleaching responses
Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …

Annual thermal stress increases a soft coral's susceptibility to bleaching
Like scleractinian corals, soft corals contain photosymbionts (Family Symbiodiniaceae) that
provide energy for the host. Recent thermal events have resulted in soft coral bleaching in …
