Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

Coral reefs are faced with almost complete destruction by the end of the century due to
global warming unless humanity can cap global temperature rise. There is now a race to …

Exposure to deoxygenation from climate warming and pollution is emerging as a
contributing factor of coral bleaching and mortality. However, the combined effects of heating …

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 …

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 …

Heat waves are causing declines in coral reefs globally. Coral thermal responses depend
on multiple, interacting drivers, such as past thermal exposure, endosymbiont community …

The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …

Corals and their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium have a fragile
relationship that breaks down under heat stress, an event known as bleaching. However …

This review discusses the evidence for the involvement of superoxide radical, hydrogen
peroxide and singlet oxygen (reactive oxygen species, ROS) as triggers for coral bleaching …

As coral reefs continue to decline due to climate change and other stressors, scientists have
proposed adopting genomic tools, such as biomarkers, to aid in the conservation and …
