Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

Recurrent mass bleaching events are pushing coral reefs worldwide to the brink of
ecological collapse. While the symptoms and consequences of this breakdown of the coral …

The apparent ability of corals to acquire and maintain enhanced stress tolerance through a
dose-dependent environmental memory, which may persist for multiple years, has critical …

Corals house a variety of microorganisms which they depend on for their survival, including
endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and bacteria. While cnidarian …

Background Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae are important photosynthetic
symbionts in cnidarians (such as corals) and other coral reef organisms. Breakdown of the …

Thermal‐stress events that cause coral bleaching and mortality have recently increased in
frequency and severity. Yet few studies have explored conditions that moderate coral …

The intimate relationship between scleractinian corals and their associated microorganisms
is fundamental to healthy coral reef ecosystems. Coral‐associated microbes …

Anomalously high ocean temperatures have increased in frequency, intensity, and duration
over the last several decades because of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global …

The cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis is of huge importance as it underpins the success of
coral reefs, yet we know very little about how the host cnidarian and its dinoflagellate …
