The global loss and degradation of coral reefs, as a result of intensified frequency and
severity of bleaching events, is a major concern. Evidence of heat stress affecting corals …

Scleractinian corals and their symbiotic dinoflagellate algae build massive, wave-resistant
coral reefs that are pre-eminent in shallow tropical seas. This mutualism is especially …

Tropical reef systems are transitioning to a new era in which the interval between recurrent
bouts of coral bleaching is too short for a full recovery of mature assemblages. We analyzed …

Coral reef bleaching, the temporary or permanent loss of photosynthetic microalgae
(zooxanthellae) and/or their pigments by a variety of reef taxa, is a stress response usually …

Stem cell homing and repopulation are not well understood. The chemokine stromal cell–
derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 were found to be critical for murine bone …

Large-scale coral bleaching episodes are potentially major disturbances to coral reef
systems, yet a definitive picture of variation in assemblage response and species …

Robert W. Buddemeier and Daphne G. Fautin leaching in organisms such as hard and soft
corals, giant clams, and sea anemones is the loss of pigment associated with their symbiotic …

Temperature-induced mass coral bleaching causing mortality on a wide geographic scale
started when atmospheric CO2 levels exceeded∼ 320ppm. When CO2 levels reached∼ …

Bleaching of reef corals is a phenomenon linked to temperature stress which involves loss of
the symbiotic algae of the coral, which are known as zooxanthellae, and/or loss of algal …

This paper investigates the refuge potential of (1) upwelling areas,(2) coral areas at medium
depth, and (3) offshore bank and island reefs in a scenario of increased global warming, and …
