Juvenile waiting stage crown‐of‐thorns sea stars are resilient in heatwave conditions that bleach and kill corals
The juveniles of predatory sea stars can remain in their recruitment–nursery habitat for some
time before their ontogenetic shift to the adult habitat and diet. These small juveniles are …

Quantifying the thermal tolerance traits of individual corals reveals widespread variation across the Great Barrier Reef
The capacity of reef-building corals to adapt to global warming depends upon standing
heritable variation in tolerance traits upon which selection can act. While heat tolerance is …

Pushing the limits: expanding the temperature tolerance of a coral photosymbiont through differing selection regimes
HJ Scharfenstein, LM Peplow, C Alvarez-Roa… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Coral thermal bleaching resilience can be improved by enhancing photosymbiont thermal
tolerance via experimental evolution. While successful for some strains, selection under …

Trade-offs in a reef-building coral after six years of thermal acclimation
Evidence is growing that reef-building corals have the capacity to acclimate to new and
challenging thermal conditions by increasing their thermal resistance. This raises hopes for …
