Marine heatwaves are triggering coral bleaching events and devastating coral populations
globally, highlighting the need to identify processes promoting coral survival. Here, we show …

Coral reefs are among the most species-rich, productive and economically valuable
ecosystems on Earth but increasingly frequent pantropical coral bleaching events are …

Ocean warming is causing declines of coral reefs globally, raising critical questions about
the potential for corals to adapt. In the central equatorial Pacific, reefs persisting through …

Impacts of global climate change on coral reefs are being amplified by pulse heat stress
events, including El Niño, the warm phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) …

Tropical corals live close to their upper thermal limit making them vulnerable to unusually
warm summer sea temperatures. The resulting thermal stress can lead to breakdown of the …

Corals of the eastern tropical Pacific live in a marginal and oceanographically dynamic
environment. Along the Pacific coast of Panamá, stronger seasonal upwelling in the Gulf of …

Oceanic thermal anomalies are increasing in both frequency and strength, causing
detrimental impacts to coral reef communities. Water temperatures beyond the corals …

Frequent occurrences of coral bleaching and associated coral mortality over recent decades
have raised concerns about the survival of coral reefs in a warming planet. The El Niño …

The oceans are warming and coral reefs are bleaching with increased frequency and
severity, fueling concerns for their survival through this century. Yet in the central equatorial …

Abstract During 2015–2016, an El Niño and associated warm water event caused
widespread coral bleaching across the equatorial Pacific. Here, we combine 8 yr of benthic …
