Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and
economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change …

A changing climate is driving increasingly common and prolonged marine heatwaves
(MHWs) and these extreme events have now been widely documented to severely impact …

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 …

Coral reefs represent the most spectacular and diverse marine ecosystem on the planet as
well as a critical source of income for millions of people. However, the combined effects of …

Ocean warming is resulting in increased occurrence of mass coral bleaching; a response in
which the intracellular algal endosymbionts (Symbiodinium sp.) are expelled from the coral …

Loss of endosymbiotic algae (“bleaching”) under heat stress has become a major problem
for reef-building corals worldwide. To identify genes that might be involved in triggering or …

Corals depend on a mutualistic symbiosis with intracellular dinoflagellates of the genus
Symbiodinium for their energetic needs. The high productivity of corals in a challenging …

High sea surface temperatures often lead to coral bleaching wherein reef-building corals
lose significant numbers of their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae). These …

Reef corals are sensitive to thermal stress, which induces coral bleaching (the loss of algal
symbionts), often leading to coral mortality. However, corals hosting certain symbionts …

Coral reefs across the globe are threatened by warming oceans. The last few years have
seen the worst mass coral bleaching events recorded, with more than one quarter of all reefs …
