Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

Increased temperature and CO 2 levels are considered key drivers of coral reef degradation.
However, individual assessments of ecological responses (calcification) to these stressors …

Genotype-by-environment interactions (GxE) indicate that variation in organismal traits
cannot be explained by fixed effects of genetics or site-specific plastic responses alone. For …

Reef-building coral populations are at serious risk of collapse due to the combined effects of
ocean warming and acidification. Nonetheless, many corals show potential to adapt to the …

Staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis, is a threatened species and the primary focus of
western Atlantic reef restoration efforts to date. We compared linear extension, calcification …

The integrity of coral reefs worldwide is jeopardized by ocean acidification (OA). Most
studies conducted so far have focused on the vulnerability to OA of corals inhabiting shallow …

Aquatic ecosystems exceed terrestrial ones in size and rival them in productivity. In addition
to offering food to a rapidly growing human population, they render a wide array of services …

A decrease in ocean pH of 0.3 units will likely double the proportion of dissolved copper
(Cu) present as the free metal ion, Cu 2+, the most bioavailable form of Cu, and one of the …

Ocean warming and acidification can have negative implications on coral reefs. This
mechanistic study aims to evaluate the proximal causes of the observed negative response …

Shallow hydrothermal vents emit warm water, carbon dioxide, toxic chemicals, nutrients and
reduced compounds that altogether mimic climate and human impacts, and are therefore …
