The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

The apparent ability of corals to acquire and maintain enhanced stress tolerance through a
dose-dependent environmental memory, which may persist for multiple years, has critical …

Coral bleaching is the detrimental expulsion of algal symbionts from their cnidarian hosts,
and predominantly occurs when corals are exposed to thermal stress. The incidence and …

The effects of observed and future changes in climate are spatially and socially
differentiated. The impacts of future changes will be felt particularly by resource-dependent …

Since the early 1980s, episodes of coral reef bleaching and mortality, due primarily to
climate-induced ocean warming, have occurred almost annually in one or more of the …

Sea surface temperatures were warmer throughout 1998 at Sesoko Island, Japan, than in
the 10 preceding years. Temperatures peaked at 2.8° C above average, resulting in …

Coral microbiology is an emerging field, driven largely by a desire to understand, and
ultimately prevent, the worldwide destruction of coral reefs. The mucus layer, skeleton and …

Reef corals (and other marine invertebrates and protists) are hosts to a group of
exceptionally diverse dinoflagellate symbionts in the genus Symbiodinium. These symbionts …

Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …
