Thermal variability can render corals stress resistant through a phenomenon coined as
“stress-hardening induced by environmental priming”. Fluctuations that involve high …

Unlocking how coral endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) regulate the susceptibility of corals
to thermal stress-induced bleaching has been the focus of experimental heat stress studies …

Anthropogenic ocean warming is one of the biggest threats to marine organisms worldwide.
However, it remains unclear how the duration and intensity of thermal anomalies affect …

Phenotypic plasticity is one mechanism whereby species may cope with stressful
environmental changes associated with climate change. Reef building corals present a …

The potential effects of seasonal acclimatization on coral sensitivity to heat-stress, has
received limited attention despite differing bleaching thresholds for summer and winter. In …

As marine heatwaves increasingly threaten coral reefs worldwide, some extreme reef
environments naturally expose corals to high-temperature fluctuations and can therefore …

Coral reef ecosystems are under the direct threat of increasing atmospheric greenhouse
gases, which increase seawater temperatures in the oceans and lead to bleaching events …

Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and intensity, with potentially catastrophic
consequences for marine ecosystems such as coral reefs. An extended heatwave and …

Adaptation and/or acclimatization through various mechanisms have been suggested to
help some tropical coral species to overcome temperature-induced bleaching that is …

Discovering how corals can adjust their thermal sensitivity in the context of global climate
change is important in understanding the long-term persistence of coral reefs. In this study …
