Selective breeding of resilient organisms is an emerging topic in marine conservation. It can
help us predict how species will adapt in the future and how we can help restore struggling …

Abstract Cnidarian-microalgae (Family: Symbiodiniaceae) endosymbiotic relationships are
central to the success of reef building corals, particularly shaping stress tolerance and …

Corals in the northern Red Sea exhibit high thermal tolerance despite the increasing heat
stress. It is assumed that corals throughout the Red Sea have similar bleaching thresholds …

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 …

In the past decade, the frequency of mass coral bleaching events has increased due to
seawater temperature anomalies persisting for longer periods. Coral survival from …

Understanding how tropical corals respond to temperatures is important to evaluating their
capacity to persist in a warmer future. We studied the common Pacific coral Pocillopora over …

Sensitivity to ocean warming is generally expected to be lower in populations from more
heterogeneous thermal environments, owing to greater phenotypic plasticity and/or …

Light is critical to coral growth through endosymbiont photosynthesis but can also act with
elevated temperatures to cause coral bleaching. When more light is absorbed than can be …

The gametogenic cycle in broadcast spawning corals takes several months, with oogenesis
culminating in synchronized maturation when seawater temperatures rise. Temperature is …

Sponges are animals that feed by filtering water through their perforated body. We examined
the in situ diel dynamics of sponge metabolism by continuously measuring the oxygen …
